HA! Got exactly the same stuff for my e30 (Meyle wishbones + sway bar links and Powerflex bushes for sway bars, wishbones and diff mount). Just got them fitted on Thursday - what a massive improvement! Like driving a new car! Have fun with it all.

And enjoy the UK!

POLYBUSHES! Do want.
I likes the wheels to, I really like the (clean) multispoke style.

That BMW wheels are so fresh. They are like the best set of wheels you could choose for your car. Id leave them as is...

Nice wheels. I personally prefer the ronal equivalent a little more than the mims, still great looking wheels though. I'd leave them standard color. Or respray them in standard color. Wheels color fashions come and go. Standard silver is classic and can't be beaten IMO.
But at the end of the day it's your car. Do what you want.

thanks for the input
i sort of agree with you carl, though i would have more chance finding a swimming gorilla than a pair of 16" or 15" ronal R8's
the paint is ok, so i'll leave them for a while then decide

I dont understand with such a OEm car you would then put BMW wheels on it??

Such a clean factory car i would have just refurbed the originals or gone for something similar like this;

I'm sorry Dave, but I have to agree with CBRT...

Am I not right guy ??? this isn't BMW wheel, it is BBS RA. Which is perfect look for 16V Mk2.
The BMW basketweave is BBS RZ

BBS RA



BBS RZ, aka BMW basketweave

Just to clear things up... they're not BMW wheels, there MIM (speedline). Yes these we're off an e30, that's why I took the centre caps out.
Yes I still have the RA's, and ill keep them untill another set of BBS' comes my way.
I'm sort of leaning towards the sporty boy racer look, hence the wide multispoke wheels.

Somewhere down the track id love to get 15/16x7 et25 RM's, but need to save and find the right set
I'll see what I find in the UK next week!!!
