Option 2

i voted option 1 cos of they would be easier to clean

I'm not sure the BBS alloys will be that much easier to clean than the Momo's, however they will be easier to clean than the ones presently on, as they have a hidden dip on the inside of each spoke.

The poll was which would suit the car better, not which were easier to clean....

1 for my vote. They hark back to the ///M rims

I think that if I only did a few thousand miles a year, 19" wheels would be a possibility. but doing 25,000 miles a year on motorways, its just not worth it

good point

i use mine for weekend use only so looks are the main factor for me

Cheers

How 'bout Option 1 on the front and Option 2 on the rear?
The best of both worlds!

I'll just run off and hide in a corner now ... but not before saying that I actually like Option 1 better ...

I would stick to what you have tbh

My 17" alloys have Falken HS 439 winter tyres fitted, so either I get a new pair if alloys or swap them for summer tyres in March. What makes that unappealing is that I can't transport the wheels to and from the tyre fitters without help from friends.

What about BMW multi spoke 293? I think they look quite nice on non-M Sport models. Cleaning will be PITA though.

On BMW website, a set of 17" 290 wheels with winter RFT is £1,600. Quite reasonable.

gotta be option 2 for me, 1 is just a bit dull/boring looking to me. theyre definitely worth 5 extra minutes at wash time!

The 18" BBS CF's with ContiContactSport 5P come in at £1,200.00 and since I have made the choice in fitting the non rft winter wheels, without impact to my insurance, I probably will not be going back to them me thinks.

Voted for the BBS ones. What finish are you fancying, they do silver and a darker finish too?

I really like these in the gloss anthracite, a little cautious on the diamond cut finish of the others as they have a tendency to oxidise. I just wanted something different to the alloys on at present.

A nice layer of wheel sealant, like Poorboy's Wheel Sealant and cleaning shouldn't really be an issue.
