    What's the deal?

    With these wheels...





    I see this guy trying to sell these wheels all the time on Ebay. Some of them look rather nice, like the first ones, and the LM lookalikes are not bad. Does anyone know anything about these?

    the deal? they're generic wheels made for FWD cars, and they come with spacers...

    most likely really heavy and not that strong

        I figured it would be something like that, as I have never seen an E30 on this board sporting them. I guess I'll keep looking. Does anyone know where I can find a quality gunmetal/machined lip wheel for cheap. I can't afford SSRs. Thanks.

          I showed Josh [eurospeed88] those first ones yesterday I think it was, I was telling him how much I liked them what not.

          Anyway, I would already own them if it wasn't for the fact that they need huge spacers. If I ever buy any wheels besided my MiM's, they will have to fit WITHOUT spacers or I won't be happy.

            I must say, some of them don't look bad at all, but I doubt I'd run wheels w/ spacers.

              i really like the second wheel.... but you would be much better off getting an OEM wheel... or an OEM fit wheel

                I like the first ones but those are some big ass spacers.
