One more e30 with ESM 02R

[J.Rizo]

I keep coming back to this thread and each time I wish this beautiful vert had style 5s instead of the ESMs.
my heart, it hurts.

I know its not my car, but still.

Are the tires 205/45 or 50?

I run these on my vert and there are fine. I bought them two years ago and have had zero trouble. My wife has a pair of the ESM Borbet Reps and we've had great luck with both of them.

I love the legit 4 lug euro weaves, but really want 16" and going 5 lug for style 5's or a wider selection of wheels seems like way too much trouble. If I stumbled across a great deal on some nice BBS or Borbet wheels that would be great, but I did a whole S52 swap for the price of what some really nice rims cost; so it's all about priorities. My vert came with bottle caps so that was my first purely cosmetic purchase and I'm glad I did!

not saying this to shit on your thread, but with some patience you can find real wheels on craigslist on the cheap man.

I have a set of ESM 002 wheels on my vert and wholeheartedly second this opinion. For what ESM wheels are, they aren't terrible as cheap wheels. That being said, I had a pretty bad experience with fitment. I also talked with a guy at Vintage who told me about his customer service problems when he talked to ESM about a set of wheels that couldn't be balanced. All-in-all I just wasn't satisfied with my experience, but that was several years ago and things could have changed.

again, I'm not one of those people who think people who run reps are the devil, I'm just saying, keep your eyes open on craigslist/forums and you'll find some amazing deals. plus its really easy to resell reps, theres always someone on a budget.

great looking car though bro, just not a fan of the wheel choice personally.

why bother with the silly filters and pics of boxes? OHHH right stance boi

The b/w filter was because it made the image easier to see. It was taken in downtown LA, on Thanksgiving, in traffic, and I had my child in the car.

Didn't feel like pulling over to find good lighting.

Why bother with 9" if you're only going to run a 205?

Good point. I ran with 205 for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to make sure there was no rub. And second, on a tight budget with the holidays.

In the future, I'd like to run some 225 in the back. Not sure about the fronts.

wheel vs tire

So this is how much stretch I got from 205s on a 9inch rim
