BBS's or fuchs? Opinions?

Ever since I bought my 87 coupe 6 weeks ago I've wanted to replace the BBS's that came on it with original fuchs. I finally got them put on this week. What do you guys think?

Hey clay,
congrats on the p-car. I remember a little while back you asked me about my car and you were talking about getting one.
anyway I do like the fuchs. I saw someone on here who just had theres polished and they really looked good. His car was red but
I think that would look good on the black one as well

I agree with the majority, but with spacers it would be even better.

I won't (in this specific matter) go against the stream and will join the Fuchs clan, because Fuchs is the "correct" way to go. BUT the BBS are one hell of a nice wheel, in fact, next to the Fuchs, that kind of BBS is definitely second best IMO! In fact, all considered, I think there are VERY few nice looking wheels, and I'm amazed Fuchs don't exist any longer (? or do they?)

Fuchs is the way to go: 1)looks better; 2)lighter wheel; 3)sturdy and reliable.

Yessss.... much better. Now lower it to euro specs and spacers. Maybe some of the 17" 3 piece custom fuchs next. Oooh yah.

PS. Skip polishing the fuchs - IMO much better all black.
