Aussie wheel tech/discussions

[MkI]

They look cool! I like them in that combo as they are(what's the car colour?)....I've looked into Force Racing before, they do some cool little wheels in any pattern. Just a pity our dollar is rooted to the GBP now. I've got a singhle 10x7.5 -7 SSR MK1 which is a wide, deep dish little 10in, I was going to get a little stand made and some glass cut and make a side table for my mancave.

Just out of interest, you still loving that SSR?

Hmmmm to be honest the way he wrote it all up it could be positive. The JPS Group A didn't have as crazy of offsets as it was an updated model. His one adapted to the larger brembos so they needed clearance.

I know this is really fucking late, but I know a guy who made sets of wheels for Jimmy for his BMWs. Not sure if e30, but definitely the 635. He might have some specs for Richos e30 lying around, he seems to have done most other racing cars from that era.

I can ask if you haven't already decided/spent/made wheels up

[MA44AL]

Yeah, I think that's the only option. Thanks anyways

I couldnt find any when i wanted a single. Ended up ordering a complete set from over seas

Got my adapters in and one of my lug nuts that came with them have gone walk about. There audi/vw spec M14x1.5 ball seat r13 lug nuts. Anyone no where to get them in aus? Everywhere I look they only have bolt variants and not an actual nut.

Pure ass found it for sale on Gumtree for 300K.
Got through to the current owner and his emailed me some specs through, he doesn't know the rear lip or barrel sizes. But they are 17X8 -69.3 17X8 -43.6 Fronts have a 1 Inch Lip 7 Inch Barrel. The JPS M3 ran different offsets but Simmons V4's, Believe they are stepped from a 15" Center.


Since i cant run centerlocks the below image is what im trying to achieve on the E30 Build. Although i think ill only step up one inch rather then two as 17's are harder to pull off on a non M3. Opinions though would help as its my first set im building.

Sweet! I really like the look of those! You got a pretty good deal

[dylan8]

two boxes.
put a wheel in one, put the other box upside down on the other, tape together.

some extra card board.

get creative

Stupid question of the year!!

When sending wheels interstate, what boxes do people use? I cant seem to find any big enough. Wheela are 18x10, im shifting my colection back to Darwin from Perth.

They must have a seriously thick back pad to be that far into the negatives with only small lips. Are you sure that's right? They do look great though!

Damn they look beautiful.

I'd be trying either the Brock Experience or maybe Bowdens Own. Neither of them have his car but they might be good leads.

Long shot, but does anyone happen to know or know of someone who'd know.
The Wheel specs of Peter Brocks BMW M3 Simmons wheels either V5 or V4's.
It'd be appreciated if anyone had any info cheers.

so I havent had a car until friday so havent been able to get to the shops for new bolts.
found leaving the barrels/lips in the hot sun today was enough to make them expand enough to pull the centres in on 3 wheels.
still having issues on the 4th one. did notice the lips seem to be slightly smaller in diameter then the barrels, so going to get the tyres off and separate the lip from the barrel and attack it with some sand paper
