On my car, Octavo 100's beat Turbines. I look the look better despite not having found center caps for them yet. (worth noting that 185/70 tires rubbed in the front on the Octavo's before I put in camber plates. Turbines did not, and currently wear 205/55's which don't rub)

 

For your car, I'd pick the center wheels. I think they'd look better on the white.

13s?

Thanks Otto, I really like the Octavo's on your car.

btw Midland Wheels in the U.K. Sell the correct centre caps.

cheers

I'm rather surprised that all you guys are running 5 and 5.5 x 13's. I have a set of each, but have been seriously contemplating buying some bottle caps just so I could get to 6 x 14.

 

My suspension will be all juiced up and brandy new, so I was thinking 6's. What am I missing here?

[SydneyTii]

Not missing anything, we dont have tyre supply issues for 13's in Aus, also I run e30 14" bbs wheels, I like them, I just prefer the more period look, but yeah nothing wrong with 14's. btw the BWA's are 6". Cheers.

Hi Otto, any chance you could post a pic from the front so I can see the tip in of the top of the tyre/wheel with the camber plates? Cheers

I guess I'm the only one that likes the turbines .... because meatier spokes look better .... and four spokes aren't enough

[SydneyTii]

And what makes it harder is I like the lip on these, you can see it from this angle better, notice how the fins are more dished than turbines which are flat, I suppose at least they are al 13's so I can just swap tyres around. I think they are half way between a turbine and an Alpina wheel?
