Aussie E30 323i build

[TOM66]

nice start man, doin up my own e30 coupe at the moment, i've seen some nice wheels on ebay at the moment, there's rota rb's (look like a minilite) in a 15"x8" with 4x100 and 0 offset which gets them really close to the guards but should fit i'm told and they're $750 + shipping i think. might not be for you but they're groing on me :-)

good find on the size! I had a look at them though and they're not really my thing... i like wheels with less gap and more face... if that makes sense.

been looking at ebay/forums almost everyday so hard to find something that will fit straight on

I'm pretty keen to check out your build pics if you do buy them and get them on to see what they look like

Did some funny things with the lights which I'm not sure if i like yet,

New front bumper with no rust

Got everything i need for a manual conversion

Coilovers are in

(and yes, I am the illest)

looking good.

bloody trawling ebay and gumtree at the moment.
like the idea of spending money on doing up an old beema than spending it on the ss hahahah

[joeseinfeld]

Tell me about it!

Every man and his dog's got an ss these days!

I've found so much on gumtree it's just a cunt to keep checking most night and not finding anything... got the E30 off there too

very nice!! fellow white e30 owner in vic here haha wheels next on your list?

[joeseinfeld]

yep wheels are the next major purchase!

The minor purchase before that is a strut brace to save those strut towers that will be getting a beatin from now on.

I'm pretty set on these: http://otomoto.com.au/p/5508414/set-...ion-tyres.html


****** gunna **** on the 15" but i like the way they look on the pre-facelifts... and less cash money on tyres

[INDOMI]

for me personally i dont mind 15s on e30s they look good, but try saving up for genuine wheels man dont get reps if you can

[WaltherHa]

I'll fine another one someday in the US.

[joeseinfeld]

I would love to go genuine but everything I've looked at is well over 1.5k and that'll blow my bank account to bits... I'm at uni 5 days a week so there's no significant cash flow.

My other option is a set of genuine 15" momo's, but i'd only be getting them coz i can't afford a set of borbet type A's which look 10x better... so i'd never really be happy with em

[joeseinfeld]

I'll fine another one someday in the US.

That's the spirit! haha i thought they were pretty common over there?
