nice. wheel porn right there !

OK we all know the usual stuff under E21's from Alpina and BBS, stuff like MIM's is pretty common too, but are there other interesting options that do not require a lot of work? Steelies or Minilite perhaps, preferably in 7x15? 13's or 14's would be nice but limits the options for brakes too much. Suspension will be pretty much stock. Looking forward to your suggestions, experiences and suppliers!

I'll try to make a list with pics, as I have refurbished a "few 100" sets

Take your time, but that does sound interesting!

curious too .. what are you planning Jeroen

Well I don't like most of the regular Alpina or BBS wheels, too common, and perhaps I even want to move away from 15". Loose some sharpness and hardness in the overall suspension and make the car a bit softer, it is much more fun to drive with a little less grip.

I love Minilites but in 15"' that may be too much perhaps (need to see irl first), on the other hand smaller rims might pose limitations for brake upgrades. Perhaps I have something in mind that won't work, but that's what I'm trying to find out...

But that's also why I don't want any stiffer than Bilstein B6 or tyres like Toyo R1-R on the E21. I feel that on the road that will take away all the fun and perhaps even speed. Let it slide a bit more!

What about Avid-1 (could not find them on e21)


I have always wanted to test Renault speedline wheels under a e21


You might get some ideas from this thread:

Ofcourse we also have the Lenso's, like on Tseards 323i.

I've chosen Compomotive ML in 15x7 et12. Not received them yet, but here's the idea:

Have these on order for mine was going to go down the bbs or mims route. But decided to be different

You are getting old J.



So you want 13 or 14" rims then? How about these?
You get the tupperware package for free!

Haha well I'd say with the car floating about it bit more it is more driving fun, I'm not looking for a comfortable car.

I'll skip on your wheels and spoilers (chills down my spine haha)
