    Question Opinions wanted on wheels

    I recently bought a 1998 Fern green 328i Convertible and I am looking for opinions on what wheels I should put on it!

    It is currently on a set of Style 230's installed by the previous owner:

    I currently own the following sets of BMW wheels:
    -Style 42 (1 piece)
    -Style 68
    -Style 22 (DS1's)

    Any opinions on what would suit the convertible the best? I would love to refinish the DS1's to look like the following picture, but it doesn't feel right putting them on a 98 (Probably a moot point since all my current options aren't period correct either):

    DS1's for sure - always loved that style and think it looks good on just about any 'older' BMW. Just my 2 cents, best of luck!

    Looks - I'd take the DS1s.

    Performance - the Style 68s are the lightest factory wheels you can get.

    And they don't look bad, either.

    I think the 230's look good. Properly lower the car and it will look a lot better. Lots like they may have put the wrong struts up front, they're probably not the sport version (shorter piston).
