Anyone have a good supplier for aftermarket wheels? I am looking for 15" or 16". Something easy to clean and looks good. |

Looks are a personal judgment and only you can decide if a wheel looks good. An easy to clean wheel is one that is simple construction and has lots of open space. Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels (15x7) will certainly satisfy the easy to clean criteria and aren't expensive. You can get them from Bimmerworld. _________________ NASA and BMW Certified instructor

Ronal is a popular 15" wheel. I have the LS on mine.
Also look at ESM on ebay if you like the basket weave style.
Also the Alpina replicas are nice. like on Dales vert.

I think the Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels are a great choice, well made, great price at $110, lighter then the stock wheels.
As for weights, I think the factory 14x6.5 BBS-style E30 wheels are about 15 pounds. Those larger 15x7 Team Dynamics wheels are 13.1 pounds.
The ultralight race-only 14x7 Panasports I race with are 14 pounds. _________________ http://www.unofficialbmw.com

Yeah, I am not sure which I will go with. Either the racing Dynamics Team Dynamics or the D-Force LTW5. I like the simplicity of the 5 spoke wheel, but the design of the racing dynamics catches my eye more. As far a functionally what is the better wheel? |
