          There is a much larger market of 4x100 bolt wheels for the Civic crowd than the e30 crowd. The civic has created market for lightweight wheels. Adding spacers isnt to much of an extra cost.

          Unless the ITR or similar's had a 4x114? Is that what you are refering to?
          Below the radar...

            ITR's were 5x114, which is hard to find anywhere

            my comment was mainly on the honda offset wheels, i'm not a fan of that, no matter how sweet the rim is.

              Because I found this list...



              If you want the ultimate in lightweight race rims, you'll want the Gram Lights 57CF,15x6.5 / 7, +12, +25, +38, 5.4lbs/5.9lbs. (special order from Japan, $300/each). They are the preferred race rims over there. If anyone wants to go in on some sets, I have a contact here in the US that will give bulk discounts........

              Believe the list would be for a Miata, so hub centerbore / offset all wrong But gives some ideas.

              The typical Spec Miata wheel, Team Dynamics Pro-Race 1, 15x7, ET30 or ET40, 13.2 or 13.6lbs, $109.
              Pro-Race 1.2 have flattened spokes for less damage when you snuggle up with a neighbor. ET30 only, $114.
              Pro-Race 2, 15x7, ET30, 14lbs, $104.
              Konig Network, 15x7, ET40, 13.4lbs, $99.
              Rota Slipstream, 15x7, ET40, 12.4lbs, $109.
              Kosei K1-TS, 15x7, ET38, 10.8lbs, $139.

              I wish there was somewhere selling Pro Race 1.2's with E30 centerbore and ET25 or 23 offset.

                    Bimmerworld has lightweight 4lug Team Dynamics wheels. Edge Racing(type it in google) has lightweight rims as well.

                            35mm is too close to the strut to me. my et30 borbets were damn close. i thought it was touching.

                            plus, they might not be e30-fitment... light wheels though
