I'm torn...wheel opinions? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

One of the next things I plan on buying for my car is wheels. I feel the wheel choice for any car is very important in the overall appearance of the vehicle. I'm really torn between buying a set of CCW Classic's and getting a set of AC Schnitzer Type II Racing. The CCW's I would buy new but the Type II's aren't made anymore, so I'd have to pick them up used and have them fully refinished. Here is a picture of each...

CCW Classic (this isn't the best picture, but I know you guys know what they look like)

Refinished AC Schnitzer Type II's

I don't generally ask people's opinions on things since this is my car and it's my opinion that matters, but this time I wanted to see what other people thought. I would love for people to post some hot pictures of these wheels on an e36 coupe...maybe that will help...

My car is silver, not white...but I would probably get this same finish...

The type 2's are pretty dope and ordainarily would have been my choice, but since you threw the classics in, that's insta win.

russiankid · 05-04-2010, 08:42 PM

Type II's.

i like rice · 05-04-2010, 08:43 PM

Between those two, the Type IIs but if it were me, BBS LM.

Eclipse GSX 61 · 05-04-2010, 08:43 PM

CCW's no questions asked.

FocusDude · 05-04-2010, 08:44 PM

You get a proper stance on those AC's and it would be mint. I don't see them nearly as much as the other.

But the classics are just that and you can really never go wrong.

I'd be torn too.

I don't know man...the LM's don't really do it for me. I know, I know, that's blasphemy coming from a BMW owner. lol
