I decided to treat my self and my e21 and buy a new set of wheels.I had picked out rota shakotan / bm8 so I rang to ordered them but I was told it would be 6 weeks And to think about Japan racing jr14. So I'm asking ye as lovers of the e21 which suit in better in yer opion.

Rota Shakotan



Or these jr14

Hiya

I'm thinking the first set! Totally nice
Are you getting then in 16" or 15"

Rota's indeed. I find the JR14's a bit too much like the aero/turbo cover BBS's from the Porsche 935

I am finding myself quite drawn to the jr's!

The rotas are 15x8 et10 and the Jr's will be 16x8 et 10 or 16x8 on front and 16x9 on the rear. Still undecided I love the rotas but 6-8 weeks is a long time to be watin for a set of wheels that I might not like or any one else

I dont like the look of that at all

them rotas are fake hayashi wheels.

i dont think i like either tbh.

if you want a decent priced wheel thats easily obtainable and would suit the e21 then a klutch sl1 would do it although its a very popular wheel, alternatively the lenso kza's look alright too.

Ya I know the rotas are a copy of hayashi wheels but at least they are made buy a good company. And not like so of the bbs reps that seem to be on every but a shoppin trolly nowadays. I like the klutch sl1 they have a good dish but to me they still look a bit like bbs rs.
Cheers for your ideas that is why I posted this hear I like to hear everybody's opinion

How it looks with the new wheel will have to drop it a few clicks on the front when im replacing the shocks

wheely difficult decision this!
