New wheels for my E30 !!

[E30Jim]

My15x8.5 et06 (2.5'' lips) and 15x9 et00 (3'' lips) RS001 are gone. I tough they were too small for my E30.



Here are the new ones. BBS RS174 16x7 et33 and RS244 16x8 et33 redrilled to 4x100. Final specs will be 16x9 et09 (3'' lips) and 16x10 et09 (3.5'' lips). I think I'll ask one of my friend to shave the back a little bit to lower the offsets to about et12.






Lip test...

i think i will run almost the same set-up this summer but mine is alpine white.

It's probably what you meant, but shaving the pad will raise the offset, not lower it.

Very nice wheels though. Staying silver?

Oups, you're right.

I'm still debating about the color but silver isn't in the options.

Very happy to read this, I've always liked your car except for the 15's. My vote is zinno centers, please

[WillE28]

red center maybe?

[Zic]

love it, keep it classy tho, silver will be the best imo.
white would look sweet as well.

[E30Jim]

They will stay classy, I don't like red RS's, sorry.

I'll probably go with a kind of metallic taupe. I want something between silver and gold.

any update?

any update?

I'm freaking busy. I'm working 40 hours per week as a 3D artist and starting a Marine Live Fish Store so I try to work on them when I can but it's not often. I also have a GF, 3 dogs and a Salwater Aquarium. No time for napping !!!

I finished to separate them yesterday evening. It's funny, the 16x9 look small beside the 16x10.

Gunna look fresh!

hmm sad times...i've found a good deal locally on some 15" RS and was intending to build them with the exact specs you had...i originally wanted to do it on 16s but wow, some of the prices people ask for these wheels are nuts and there are very few that seem to come up for sale here in Western Australia.

Do you think if i can get a set of 15s for ~300-400 and build them from there i'd be happy for a while? Do you mind telling me what your 16s cost?
Thanks mate!
