Nice... do you usually just swap the wheels by hand when practicing?

Yeah, I was clueless to whether or not bolting a wheel by hand(realistically by foot) was good enough to keep them on while drifting.

If and whenever I get my E30 I'll be swapping the rear tires quite often

not the biggest fan of the rim-style, but hey it's your choice and if you are happy with it the better

That not the only one set of rims for my e30 So don't worry
Can't wait to repair my BBS RS R15 and to install them on my e30

You know it's hard to buy expensive parts if you're student! and have not enough money :roll:

Definitely a visual improvement, but how's the extra grip when drifting?

exhtra grip ? WTF man!
the tire is 225/45 R17
I got the same tires on my Alpinas (maybe a little bit higher tire)
So the tires are the same
only difference I could notice, Wheel weight
Car acceleration a lot slower on 2 and 3 gear
