They're WORK Monzas, they look very similar to BBS RS (which is one of the main reasons why my friend chose them).




Here's what his old set-up looked like.



...just wondering, which do you guys prefer, the current set-up with the WORK Monzas or the older set-up with the Algernon Intelesse?

I like the older set up better. The Work Monzas and the BBS RS look good on older cars or cars with less curves, like this:

Old set by far. Ditch the new ones and put the old ones back on. Absolutely beautiful car though.

Monzas all the way.

It's different and that's why it appeals to me. I would actually take the time to turn my head if I saw this.

To much mesh, only BMW can pull that look off. Plus, that stuck out center cap on that flat face is yuck.

Old setup FTW.

New setup, but refinish the spokes black or something.
