I'm join the conversation.
Did someone can show me how look like 15" BBS Mahle with a lowered e9?
Thanks

Smart purchase Scott. I liked those wheels when I met up with Steve at the Vintage (My car is in the foreground; Steve's is behind the Alpina). I am going to those Pirellis once I get my suspension sorted.

I had the 14's by then, I dropped the 15's at Scott's house on the way up there. The Pirellis were great on that horribly wet drive home.

OZ (MSW) 20 spoke 15” wheels shod with 205/60 tires on my coupe with CN BG lowering springs quite a few years back. Believe the ET was either 10 or 11mm. This front setup did cut the tires somewhat, would suggest rolling the fender lips.

Not quite E9 related, but here’s my ‘77 E3 3.0Si fitted with 7x15 ET10 Alpina replica wheels and 205/60 Michelins. These pics were taken in the mid 1990s but you get the idea. I’m not sure what brand the wheels are; as you can see in the close up pic, the only marking appears to be ‘RG’. If anybody knows anything about them I’d be delighted to hear about it!
