    paintpro do you have an industry hook ups on postage to aus? We could prolly get a few more interested if shipping was reasonable for once

      Hi Sash

      The 5 x 120 GB for e36/e46 and e30 M3 is already in process as wheels are probably already being produced. Check with Paintpro for more detail.

            I am already taking payment on the 5x120 wheels. If you'd like a set you'd need to sign up now. You mentioned you were interested in more then 1 set in addition to another member in australia that would like them. I could look at sending a pallet of wheels to Aus. But you may also want to look into a freight forwarder. People are commonly using them for things I ship to international buyers. I'm very willing to work with people on international shipments.

            PM or email me and we can figure out the best way to ship.

            The 5 lug wheels will be arriving either late March or early April. People need to prepay now to get the groupbuy offer.

              I indeed have a rear Ti-specific kit with 310mm x 32mm discs and 4 pot calipers.
              PM just sent.

                I looked on e30tech for this, couldnt find it. how come?

                I knew it'd be tough to get 25, but I thought there would be more people than this.

                  Eddy,

                  I've just got permission to throw this up on our local aussie forum.....There could potentially be alot more interest, the only killer is postage. I think we need to look into shipping brokers or a pallet of wheels more seriously. If you have anywhere i could start on this, that would be great. Anyhow I'll post it up see if we can't drum up some interest.

                      that's unlikely, but 17x8 ET22-27should fit. I'll have to double check that on my other computer. there are already lots of 17x7.5" wheels, I want an 8 :p

                        et22 is probably not going to fly. et27 will probably work. But you have coils so I'm not sure what you can pull off that I can't. I just know that I'm poking in the front with et30.

                          I'll have to double check. I seem to remember ET27 being the magic number, but there was some room for a couple mm in both directions.

                          235/50-15 R888s fit. an 8" wheel should be no problem. :p

                            Shipping is a challenge, but that is an issue with all items shipped to Australia. I can ship to individuals using the United States Postal service. I could use a company like BAX global to ship a pallet, but that would be by air freight and would still be an expensive premium. I don't know of any, but I do know that ocean freight is another option. I have no experience shipping by ocean direct to customers, so hopefully someone from Australia can chime in and make a few recommendations.

                            a 17x7.5 in any fitment will never be produced. There are mold issues that cause this, in addition to very little demand.

                            I'm still leaning towards an offset around 25mm since other 8" wide wheels have well with that offset. This is a track wheel and is recommended for that use. They will never cater to those who want to have them poke out and run stretched tires. Although if you have a 5 lug swap you could always run the e30 m3 fitment to get those results.

                              17 x 8 ET 25 are the specs on my Work Emotion CR Kais, the fitment is great. Although the tires I'm running run wide, they are still only 215/40/17.

                              I'll be putting 235/40/17s on them in the next couple of months.
