Probably would look really good. They look great on E34s so I think they'd look awesome on E24s. Plus they're styled after Alpinas so that gives you some idea if they'd look good on an E24

do it...definitely one of the best wheel options for the E24.

I was lucky enough to have a set included when i bought wolfie!

Im going to have all 4 sandblasted and powdercoated in the BMW silver finish at some point...

Jeff, that is one nice looking car! My son had a set of wheels that looked much like those on his 01 330i in 17" he was going to give me when his 19" wheels/tires came in. I hated to hear then that nothing from a 3 would fit on a 6 and I hate it more now that I see how nice those wheels look!

mine are like a cross between 32s and alpinas, the 32s are a great look for the car...

Had them on for a while. Really like the look. Then I came across a set of Alpinas.

theres a huge wheel place in michigan that does replica style 32s they look good, and you will save a little bit of bank... i think its called lake shore wheel and tire or something... google it.. they have a website...

im pretty sure he traded them straight up for the alpinas. not sure what 640csi is up to now though. I thought a little while back he was trying to sell all the 6er stuff he had on ebay.

You never obviously had 3-piece BBS RS then :)

I dont find the 32s that bad to clean really. I just use a cotton glove on my hand and just scrub with my fingers. Goes pretty quick if you ask me...

I think bottlecaps are harder to clean by far, and i wouldnt want to clean the BBS wheels at all haha...

Yep, like Jeff said, it was a straight up trade. Never know what you might get if you only ask. I would like to thank 640csi for making it happen. On the 32's I started with a staggered set,then traded the 2 wider ones and ended up with a matched set including spare.

I bead blasted the Alpina's and painted them myself.

IMHO, I think the 32's fit the 6 lines very well.

I think the BBS Style 5 17" and M Parallel 18" looks perfect on the E24.
I have style 5 on my car. =)
