    Default Opinons PLEASE

    Guys, I hit the worlds largest pothole and cracked 2 of my Racing Dynamic's RD2 wheels. While they are being repaired, I decided on these Style 42 replicas....18x8 front and 18x9 rear. I would've went with the 17" staggered set-up, but that would've required purchasing new tires.....So 18's is will be.

    Please be honest, your opinions matter

    It depends on how you want your car to look. I love the style 42's (basically why I bought my Rondell 58's) however, the RD2's look amazing on white e34's. The style 42's give you more of a style/luxury look, and the RD2's look hot/sporty.

    Because I'm biased with my style 42 look-a-likes... I don't think I can give you a good opinion.

    But I'd choose the RD2's.

    In my opinion you should use more descriptive topic titles.

    So you bent the rims but the tires are good? Did the tire guy look at the sidewalls from the bent rims to ensure you don't have two blow-outs waiting to happen?

    Back to the question asked...I like the 'temp' wheels. Brand, prices, and where if you don't mind. My AC Schnitzer Type III's are looking a little worse for the wear and maybe I could get away with the 42's for a little more classy, less 'boy-racer' look.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Yes, I did damage the sidewalls of the tires on the cracked rims, luckily I had a 2nd set of 18" tires lying around, but I didn't have a complete set of 17" tires, hence the decision to purchase the 18" wheels. As for your question....Brand ? = EuroWheel Italy, Prices ? = $860 delivered continental US, Where ? = Thru me, I am the retailer.

    HTH, thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated

    Those look nice on a white car. Would look a bit doofy on mine though. Oxford green ain't a young man's color.
