Which Stubby?
Daft question... but which one do you guys go for? I've googled, and ebayed, and they all look cheap and sh!t tbh. Then they vary in price from £1 to £24 for the OEM BMW one (Which is ridiculous).

honestly they're all much of the muchness.. I've got a tiny metal one. It is for AM stations only so servers little to no purpose.

is the recommended one.
I've got one of these -;

Maybe it’s my age, but I fail to understand the beauty of a stubby...nearly on a par with the obsession with 19” wheels..

I'm also contemplating the 19" wheels. I just think they look a lot more dramatic and shiny than the 18". Just gives the car an extra POW when you look at it.

I got one years ago that fits a Peugeot, looked great fit perfectly. Got one recently off the net, beautiful piece of metal, didn’t quite fit as well as my old one ( that car is long gone). Went to bmw and got one , very happy now.
The one I didn’t like was about 60 dollars when you look at the shipping costs etc. The BMW one was $44. Nothing is cheap here, especially for a bmw.

You're right, it's your age. You'll be wearing socks with your sandals next

Agreed, the whippy is way cooler, looks elegant. And why spend hundreds or thousands on a wheel one inch wider that invariably looks worse than any of the OEM wheels ??!!!!

Actually I've been wearing socks with my sandals since 1980....I found when testing my Laverda flat out I got rather chilly without them..
