In the market for new wheels
 
Hi all,

I'm in the market for some new wheels for my white compact (you can view it in my gallery). Where I live in Australia, I'm a little limited in regards to the range of availability I have on wheels to choose from (and I don't want to travel or pay a lot for shipping if I can avoid it). I've found a local stores site and they sell the following 17" BBS wheels:

BBS CH:

I'm leaning towards the BBS CF wheels, but I wanted to know what you guys think? I don't think I've seen a set of these on an E36 so I'd appreciate any feedback.

My current stock 15" wheels have a lot of curb rash from the PO so I'd like to upgrade these in the next couple of months.

I attached a quick mockup of what the BBS CF wheels might look on my car. (Please ignore how distorted they are ;)). These are supposed to represent a set of 17" wheels too. It would help if I had a proper side view photo of my car :(.

I'm diggin' the look. But, that's a hard choice ya got there. Both are awesome looking wheels.

My vote is for the CH's.

Search for some threads by "Alaskablue" he had BBS RAs (new style) on his car which look similar to the CF and might give you a better idea. Can't go wrong with either though, CHs are always awesome.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I'm still really indecisive at the moment, but I've got a bit of time to decide. I'll go and get a quote for the new wheels and tire package and see the difference between the two styles! :)

Yeah I've decided to go with the CF's! They'll be a lot easier to keep clean too!

I'll let you know the price of the new wheels and post some photos when I get them installed!
