First world problems... BBS RS or Fuchs? for my new to me 1986 Coupe? Opinions
I just took delivery of a 1986 Coupe paint to sample, lots of cool features (see COA) the car was delivered with 16" gold BBS RS wheels, I had a set of 15" factory painted white gold fuchs in my garage. I swapped out he BBS's for the fuchs and can't decide which set I like better. I will have to buy tires for the "winning" set. Any opinions from the P-nut gallery welcomed!

From a purist perspective I really like the Fuchs. The gold wheels would look really nice on a red or black car but tend to fight the car's color. With that said opinions will be all over the board due a wide range of taste here. Of course what you rally like is the true vote.
Forgot to say you have a beauty.

Keep both. Swap with mood. Fuchs look awesome. And I have a soft spot for gold bbsanything. I run them on my silver rs e88. Both look great! Plus the gold adds a little spice to the subtle brown

Fuchs 16s are the way...
![]() I don't like the RS' gold spokes. 17" LMs would be better. My vote is for the Fuchs, but don't let a bunch of strangers in an online forum decide for you. |

The limited 15 tires choices may help you decide. Far more choices in 16s.

From a purist's perspective I'd get rid of that re-purposed Cadillac Coupe De Ville dashboard, the car looks great with either set of wheels.

Do the "mullet" - Fuchs in front, BBS in the back
![]() Fuchs get my vote. That color especially.

The BBS match the bling of the Caddy dashboard. Period piece!
Fuchs all the way.

Paint the center/hub of the BBS to match.

I agree with the comments above about the dash, but I prefer Fuchs. I'd sell both sets of wheels & buy 16" Fuchs. But as others have said, what's most important is what you think.

BBS, and send me the Fuchs.
In all honesty, it looks like you are going for something more your style, and less focused on stock. You got the BBS because you wanted to mix things up, right? Ride them proudly!

Fuchs. Like someone above, I don't think the gold on the BBS goes well with the cool color of your car. For BBS, silver or black-centered would work better.

Like the very wise man said, the Goldie's look great on red or black.
