Possible wheels on my E30...

[epj3]

These wheels I (poorly) photoshopped... are from the Z1 and have the same 4x100 offset - so they are bolt on. I BELIEVE they are 15".

Those are obviously the basket weave wheels on it (they look better than that... they are super dirty in that pic) and I'd like to keep the 4x100 offset so I can use these as winter wheels. Also the car WILL be lowered... it is actually HIGHER in this picture than stock.

Those are the possible wheels lowered a little.

Anyone ever see these wheels on an E30? Or, know of any other 15" 4x100 offset?

Hey mate,

Yeah one of my mates has similar wheels to those that you photoshopped. They look quite nice as long as the car sits nice and low on them, otherwise they look a bit, well, girly

Having said that, i'm all for keeping the car standard and i reckon the basket-weaves kick arse. I've got them too. You wish you had those Brembo's in real life don't you! LOL

as long as those wheels come with the gigantor brakes, i say you should do it

I hate the basketweave wheel size. I know there ARE 15" basketweaves with the 4x100 offset, but I can't find them - otherwise I would buy them.

just to help you out a bit, 4x100 is the bolt pattern. offset is the distance from mounting face to center of wheel.
its easy to find wheels with that bolt pattern but the correct offset needed for an e30 is a different story.
those rims most likely do NOT have the correct offset. you would need spacers.

if you want advice on how to find e30 rims, i wrote a couple threads about it in the E30 section.... where this post should be

Oh really? The basketweaves in the first picture of MY CAR are 15"? Hell!!!!! Why are there 14" tires on it!?!?

 

[epj3]

And yes, I don't particularly like the 14" basketweaves. Waaay too small, and my wheels need painted so bad.

Plus, the fact you can't find ANY TIRES besides ones you would put on some shitty civic with not even 1/8 the supposive handling capability.

I think you should get 26" chrome spinners.

 

[tool fan]

The second set make you car look SICK...definately the second set. The first one are to "COMMON" the second set looks aftermarket.

i like your style

Please don't tell me you mean those SHOCKING mags with two layers and the ourside one keeps spinning even when you're stopped!?

 

[frolf]

i think a set of 26" spinners would compliment his ride



too bad they weigh about as much as his car does

All I need to do is fine 26" wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern

I have the basket weaves... they look good when your car is dropped. You can fit 205 60 14's on them. I bought the BFgoodrich traction T/A H 's and they are great. Dang sticky, good in rain and look good in my opinion.

I also picked up a second set of basket weaves at a yard sale for 70 bucks with almost new michilens h rated tires on them. Man what a deal....

Anyway... lower the car first... you may change your mind. I'll try to get a pic.

 

[frolf]

it will lower your center of gravity, though there might be a smidge of extra unsprung weight, i think its a must for an e30 fanatic.
