16" Kopi wheels revisited

[BlueIX]

I'd be interested in the 16x7.5 or 8 with the 35mm offset as long as it would fit on an ix.

The 16" Kopi wheels will only be available in 16" x 7".
Offsets are 20mm and 35mm.

[BlueIX]

Ok, i'd be interested in those.

Given the offset of ET20 which will push the wheels out just a bit, a width of 7 is acceptable. With 225 width tires minimal fender rolling might be required.

The price for the 16x7s is cheaper than the ever-popular 15" Ronal weaves - and I personally think 16s with 45 or 50 series tires on a lowered E30 strikes a nice look without being too aggressive.

Interested

[cobra86]

I'd buy a set, prefer 7.5 or 8" wide, but I would buy a set of 7" wide.

Might be interested in coming months.

Definite interest here, got new ideas in my head...

[BMWE34M5]

Looks like there is enough interest in the 16" x 7" Kopi wheels to organize a Group Buy.

Oh wow 16s?! subscribed.

[Van Westervelt]

interested in 16's, 4 (et20) and 5 lug (et35)

Will these exist?

[BMWE34M5]

We'll know in a few days for sure.

Count me in on the 16x7, 4-lug ET20

I don't really understand this whole offset and spacer thing!... help me. I was under the impression that you had to have an et25 offset....

also, what would be a difference from an et20 and a et35... does the et35 stick out more?

[BMWE34M5]

The lower the offset, the more it "sticks out" - ie. the closer to the fenders it is.
The higher the offset, the closer to the struts it is.
Ideally, for an E30, with a 6.5" to 7.5" rim, you want a 20mm offset.
If you use a higher offset wheel, you may have to use spacers.
