I've always thought the closed/capped looked great on the E34 (like Anita's B10 BiTurbo), but a little wrong for the E28. They look good, but don't blend for me like the open wheels do.

So another vote for OPEN.

I vote for closed lug, but it's a really close call. I don't think the "period correct" argument should have anything to do with it, and the the closed lug design just looks cleaner to me.

I guess you better keep both sets, Roy, and just bolt on the other set every few times you drive it. You'll never second guess your decision that way.

The open lug ones look a little like the Weds I have on my car, so I definitely vote open.

One day, I hope to be in the position to have to make this type of decision. :laugh: Right now the kind of decisions I make are more along the lines of: Fix the truck or the BMW or the Honda. I can never do more than 1 at a time.

I vote open lug. :up:
