Corvette wheels + e36: Need adapter help

[TheJakeR]

These are salad shooters (16"):



@ Francois: Beautiful color scheme! Any closeups of the wheel w/ centercaps on?

Oh and these were a craigslist $170 find. No link tho, it expired yesterday

Any idea what I should call these wheels? I said turbines in the OP since they look like they are spinning (but then again, so do sawblades)

[goldn]

these are going to look amazing on your car.

[Francois Dillinger]

no, salad shooters are the 16's.

[schroedin]

arent these called like salad shooters or something like that?

ding ding ding

[Francois Dillinger]

they technically aren't sawblades....but i got mine on ebay. they were only available for one year, so they aren't the most common wheel ever, but they are far from rare. i'd say craigslist and corvette forums are your best bet, they were only available on the 88. if you want the caps that cover the lugs anyway...

[benz88]

where are you guys finding the sawblades? i'd like to find a pair.

[NegativeCamber]

i never seen a set of four for $200 that thick, hubcentric and using quality materials. so where did you decide to go?

[Francois Dillinger]

only one cap on in the pic, but you get the idea

Never had a chance to read the whole speedhunters article until now... in love with your unfinished set man! Front fitment is also SUUUUPER balle(u)r for an e36, most guys dont pay much attention to front posture.

thanks man! thats what i really like to focus on, it doesnt take much to get rear fitment but front fitment is a diffrent story, cant wait to see your finished set-up

And I stand corrected, your car is super hot haha.

Never seen Chrome* with those center caps. So sick, can't wait to see the final product.

I have never seen a set of sawblades on a car with those center caps other than a corvette. They look sooo sick.

The chrome ZR1's look sick! That's what i wanted at first, glad I could help with your fitment specs now slap some tires on and do work!

Wouldn't know what to do w/o ur help man! Adapters and tires will be ordered tomorrow

Whatever you do, keep those center caps, I have never seen a set of sawblades on a car with those center caps other than a corvette. They look sooo sick.

Good luck with adapters or redrill whatever you choose to do.

Centercaps will stay on for sure! I'm hoping to get the wheels on the car in the next week, so I can play around with final spacing tweaks, etc... Final et will be 17
