A nice set of bbs/mesh or cool 80's style rims or the whitewalls paired with the silver hubcaps?
Im kinda leaning to get some nice radials with the white ring around them but cant decide if rims would be badass

personally, I find rims way more realisitic for daily use.
Whitewalls look terrible the minute they are dirty, which is two minutes after you put them on.
Look great on show cars that you garage all the time, but a nice set of rims are more resistant to marking, and easier to clean brake dust off of IMO
1974 240D 617 turbo swap, W201 5-speed, in the works project
1983 240D 616 stock, DD
1989 Chevy Astro, 617 turbo swap, T5 5-speed, 4.56 diff, work van
