	BBS. Wider at 7" (I think g60s are 6"?), look great and designed for them! What offset are the G60s?

	G60's are around ET35 so spacers would be needed I think.

	Just thought I'd mention that many of these wheels that are fashionable hyped as "G60 winter steels" are actually Passat wheels. Very similar, though.

	Might I say; leave it on these wheels? Maybe give them some tlc and then fit them back. Looks very good like it is now me thinks.

	Theres a few reasons why I'm getting rid of the old wheels....they have a polished lip and I'm lazy, either they or the tyres (P6000's) are never balanced (mad wobble at 60, had re-balanced 3 times) Ive got 185's on 7j rims so handling is poo. AND....I fancy a change. Thanks for the comment though good point.

	Just put some steelies on it with hubcaps ( I believe that the new fangled word for these items is wheeltrims ) Because as far as E30s go 'Steelloys' are the future! ( check my sig! ) vvvvv

	yeah syway ive checked out your ride before...beauty love the nose down stance. I'd love some 15 bottlecaps but not doing 5 stud conversion. I did think about hubcaps but that was as far as it got.

	BBS it has to be. It's the archetypal wheel of choice for an E30 .
