    Rims All About

    Hello all.My first post on this forum :)
    I wanted to ask you all about your wheels.I want to put some lightweight good looking rims on my e30 and i don't know what should i pick.The lightweight part is crucial for my project.any suggestions are good wellcomed :).
    P.S perhaps we could start a rim debate on this thread aswell

    Depends what size you want. If lightweight is so crucial for your project, I assume you are in some sort of competitive track/autox events? So what are your size requirements? What are your goals? 18lbs is light for an 18x10 that you can fit big rubber on, but heavy for a 15x7 that you can only fit 225's on. So, it's relative...

          Where are you in Europe? There might be a set of Eta Betas at the junk yard near me. I saw them but didn't pay too much atention except for the brand.

            i'm from romania.here all the e30's are called "bears" because of the sound the engine makes.every e30 you see comes with cheap engine tuning(sport air filter,sport shocks,sport exhaust and that's it.My project will include rebuilt engine- forged pistons,new camshaft,turbo,turbo manifold,intercooler).and evey e30 have Borbet A's,Azev or Keshkin rims.I'm sick of them.I need something unique,more lighter than the previous mentioned rims.The car will compete at drag racing mostly.

              Enkei RPF-01's are light as hell. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3's are cheap and light. ^UL wheels are light, too.
