        Ary,

        I had really high hopes for the square setup since I want a 235 on all 4. I did not ask for the pics to start a debate. I know the front on the E30's are slightly wider. While I can always add spacers to the rear setup I can't mill material from the front wheel to get them under the fenders. \Can you please post a pic from the front of a car so I can see how much they stick out? Did no one else buy these and have them mounted yet?

          If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

                  Thanks,
                  ok, 14mm.

                    I've never had a problem with China wheels, especially when they're showing BBS and other companies it isn't that hard to make wheels that look good.

                    But usually for China wheels you should be paying China prices...not the prices listed for these on the website...

                    My .02

                    The cars in the pictures are pretty but they are definitely not race cars.

                      The difference between BBS and China wheels isn't looks.

                        ....by copying their designs?

                          Both of these - yes.

                          BBS and other wheel companies have massively inflated prices - what I mean is that perhaps Chinese manufacturers making cheap knock offs that look (but don't weigh) the same will inspire them to cut some of the corporate fat to price at a more realistic level.

                          ESM wheels are like the worst of both worlds, inflated prices and poor quality.

                          When the 17x8.5s start coming down to 150/wheel (for example) then we can say things like:

                          "Hey they look just as good and who cares if I break a set at the track? I can afford to buy several sets per year at that price".

                            being as BBS just delcared bankruptcy, i don't imagine there is lots of corporate "fat" to be cut.

                            There is a lot more to this debate but i dont want to shit up the thread.

                              Fair enough - but my main point is that shitty wheels should be priced accordingly and the ones sold by the OP are not.

                              : )

                                Its obvious you're not fully educated on the subject you're discussing.

                                In any case, I urge everyone to not support the replica wheel market.
