    Volk cv-pro 16x7 on e30?? (pic inside)

    I can get a pretty damn good deal on these wheels. They are true 3-piece and weigh 14lbs in this size. Should i jump on them? They are et35 but i figure i could just run some 20mm spacers.

    I'd have to see em on the car to make my decision. They could look good but only on the right car it seems.

      Yes, absolutely.

      My biggest dissapointment was not buying a set of those in 16x8 +25 go for $500 with tires. They came off a Nissan so I thought "oh 4x114". Turns out this guy was rocking adapters and they were 4x100.

      The guy who had them after that refused to sell them to be for what he paid. He wanted $1200 as if it was some gold mine.

        They look like BBS RF's. They don't suit my fancy but being light weight sure that's great.

          Well these are from a nissan guy as well who was rocking adapters. I wish i new where to get new lips for them so i could just fill the offset with more lip lol. I am supposed to be going to look at them today so i will see how good of shape they are really in. Yal seem to have mixed feelings though lol, so i dunno.

            Unfortunately et35 on a 16x7 probably won't clear the strut, so you'd need a spacer regardless.

            Nice lightweight wheels, though!

              Well they ended up being 2) 16x7 et35 and 2) 16x8 et38 ...
              would 20mm spacers all the way around be too much would they require fender rolling?

                That should get you right where you need to be. You'll be 16x7 et 15 front and 16x8 et 18 rear.

                Fender rolling would depend on ride height and tire size. As long as you keep a stock-ish size (maybe 225/45/16 rear and 205/50/16 front) and your car isn't dumped, you should be fine. I'm using 205/50/16 all around, and for some reason they rub the frame rails at full lock. But it's a track car, so it seems some weird angles and whatnot

                  I think i am looking at 205/50-16 star specs for tires all around, and the car will be pretty dumped on gc's
