When I was younger many years ago ? I couldn’t wait to get the later steelies off, I really like them now, especially the slightly wider e21 style nicely painted, your steel wheels in this pic look really great!!

 

I am growing to like them. still looking for a little bigger size and upgrade though but these are good for now. I had some other E21s I was going to put on, but they were too crusty and not worth fixing.

Yeah I did the same went larger and then went back to 13’s quite surprised how much I like the 13’s on an 02, I landed a set of Octavo’s and for once am happy with my wheels?

plus I may like the colour of yours a bit?

I like the Octavos though. I just picked up another set of E21 wheels to test out for now which I'm sure a lot of people will naysay since they aren't "correct". Someone else said they have some BBS Ra for sale maybe. They aren't too bad looking, but I'm not really a huge fan of BBS to begin with.

How about some 15" Panasports?

Greg’s lovely car I believe. Steel wheels with beauty rings.

Hope you all had a good 2021, Happy New Years! Decided to take the 2002 on a little road trip and ended up driving it 180 miles and it ran PERFECT! I am honestly so excited to have driven it that far and on a whim. Now that I can actually drive this I'm so happy.  Met at my friend's shop and he shot some pics so here's a photo dump for you. Still haven't fixed the front slats so don't judge haha

good timing, that may have been the last chance to get it out for a bit! 

[SydneyTii]

Great pics!

you’ve done a great job with the car, what is it that makes us all so addicted to these funny little cars?
btw loving the steelies…..

Hey, are those lug nuts the proper taper for the steelies?
