Why in the F is it so hard to find nice-looking 15s in 4x100?

[Jonny Cash]

The Miglia's are Italian made, and actually pretty tough wheels. I know this from experience.. Countless track days and potholes in a 3400lb car.

I cant recall any Rota failures either. Calling them junk isnt fair really.

[Optimator]

Who cares how much you got shit wheels for shit cars for? Mille Miglia MM-II are shit. ASAs are shit. Rotas are shit. Small-ass BBS RZs on I30s look like shit. BBS RKs on a SpecV is an excellent way to polish shit.

Clearly, you have a fascination with shit. Perhaps you are interesting in pushing it 4" up a man's ass in your free time? If so, you could probably advertise your services on Morgantown CL, make some roses, and buy some real mesh wheels for your E30?

I couldn't care less about your join date.

Hahaha. Classic.


phen-fen addict, I actually have a mortgage thank you and a little bit of student loans remaining and a newer car with a payment... and have owned more sets of wheels than I can possibly count.

If I had tried to correct you guys in an area where you were not wrong, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.

So you admit it, then. Because that is what you did vs. nando.

It's not being a douchebag to treat the worthless shithead n00b like he should be, it's the R3V-way. If you don't like it, go whine about prices on bimmerforums where people of your ignorance are protected.

p.s. I've owned an Infiniti and the wheel selection was a lot worse than E30s.

Damn. Entering the R3V circle is worst than a frat initiation. But hey, I feel the love.

Likewise, jackass who acts wayyyy smarter than he actually is. You're fooling no one.

Howso? How am I acting smarter than I am? I came in, posted a half-observation/half-question. Are you that stupid that you read into my first post that I was trying to sound smarter than I am?

If I had come in and tried to educate you guys as to something that you already knew, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.
If I had tried to correct you guys in an area where you were not wrong, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.
If I came in here and acted as if I know more about the E30 (or even automobiles in general) than established members, THAT would be acting smarter than I am.

As it is, I did nothing of the sort.

It's not our job to babysit you and tell you the world is better when you discover you cannot afford the wheels you want.

What makes you think that I can't afford them? I don't need to slap my e-dick out on the table to show what my bank account can or can't afford, but I could easily afford wheels and tires that cost far more than what I paid for my E30. But doing so just does not make sense. Again, if you go back to page 1, I even addressed that fact:

I can't seem to find squat in 15x7 with 4x100, unless I want to spend more $$$ on w&t than I did on the car itself.

No reference to affordability. I am sure that since you reside on the internetz, that probably means that you live in your parents' basement and save all of the money from bagging groceries to buy mad tyte GDM parts for your E30 and can't conceive a lifestyle where people have mortgages, student loans, multiple car payments, kids and kids-on-the-way, etc.

But I could still afford to buy a set of wheels and tires, if I so desired.

I don't know if you knew or not, this is R3V

Really? What clued you in? For me, the titlebar had me confused as to what site I was on...

if you are a douchebag, you will be flamed. Back in the day, you would have already been banned for being a whiney and annoying bitch.

How exactly have I been a douchebag? I made an observation about something that had me a bit confounded, and people enlightened me. Those that made incorrect assumptions were corrected. The thread died...then you (in an AWESOME act of douchebaggery) came in and decided to try to dog me for not anticipating the difficulty in finding wheels with the right specs. The issue was dead- I did not drag it back to page 1.

And as for "back in the day..." I could not care less how long your history on this site goes back. I see all the time where someone with a lot of knowledge (about cars in general OR a specific platform) and joins one of the other forums that I follow, and the old guard tries to intimidate them into cowering in fear at the wisdom of tenured members. Very often, the new member actually has something to add.

I might have something to add, and I might not. I am surely not an E30 or general automotive powerhouse, but to assume that because I am new here that I am not worthy to share your bandwidth is a really, really stupid act on your part.

[rwh11385]

Attitudes like yours, however, are not helpful to anyone.

Likewise, jackass who acts wayyyy smarter than he actually is. You're fooling no one.

Most E30 owners and enthusiasts have been helpful in my quest to learn more about the vehicle and what I can do to/with it.

The very 15 inch mesh wheels that you don't necessarily like are what our local (this forum) is generally after. Those 15 inch bbs euro weaves or Ix weaves are very desireable. The most sought after wheels are the wheels that were produced when our cars came out back in the early 90's. Due to limited production, and rare offsets it's expensive to get wheels. I'm not flaming your thread. Finding wheels is a very difficult task. Source some pictures of clean e30's with bbs weaves and you might change your mind. You will never find the tuner support with an e30 that you have with a nissan/honda/infiniti whatever especially in the wheel category. There aren't many other 4 lug cars out anymore except hondas and the offsets are all wrong.

Mesh is period correct for e30's and it looks at home. See if you can source some kosei k1's in 15. They look pretty good. rotas are cheap and there is that new wheel in the group buy section that looks okay for the price. Take your time and browse eventually the right wheel will pop up.

It's a tight knit community so when new people come in they get it rough until they prove that they aren't d-bags. Good luck

[phenryiv1]

Holy shit man, you're one worthless new member with this pointless thread and smarter-than-thou attitude, even against a moderator.

His status as a moderator is immaterial to this discussion. While I respect his authority within the forum, he is not automatically correct just because of his user title.

In this case, he made one or more incorrect assumptions, and I countered them. It isn't that I doin't respect his role in the forum; it is simply that I don't feel the need to back down from an incorrect assertion simply because of who made it.

Why are Japanese cars have such cheap aftermarket wheels? Because when such wheels are purchased, many are bought by cheap minorities or cheap teenagers.

Wow, stereotype much?

I have a lot of posts because I have been here since the beginning and I can tell you're a piece of shit who isn't worth the registration. So go back to whatever forum you think you are big stuff at and complain about how much the wheel market for BMWs sucks to your Nissan pals.

I have not owned a Nissan in quite a while, but thanks fo the advice. I like it when "mature" and seasoned members resort to personal insults in their first interaction with new members.

I do still moderate a Nissan forums, and while I admit that some of your assumptions are true (some idiotic teenagers putting cheap parts on cars with rapidly-declining values), your attitude take us back to page 1, where you just look snobbish for peering down your nose at anyone not driving the chariot of God himself.

Don't get me wrong- I bought an E30 based on its capabilities. Most E30 owners and enthusiasts have been helpful in my quest to learn more about the vehicle and what I can do to/with it. Attitudes like yours, however, are not helpful to anyone.

[phenryiv1]

You're making it easy for the trolls, try relaxing some.

I really thought that I had. This thread was dead for about a day before someone came in and tried to fan the flames by repeating what had already been said.

I can't believe that people are still talking about this. Let it die.

I mis-anticipated the lack of supply of 15 x 7 ~20ET wheels. I made a post about it. People felt the need to assume that I was comparing cheap knockoffs to sacred wheels such as Borbets, Milles, BBS, etc. I advised them of the fact that I was actually comparing wheels of similar (identical) quality but greater supply to relatively scarce BMW fittamants. In my oversight, I failed to account for the scarcity and its potential upward pressure on prices for that inventory that is available.

Additionally, while many Japanese vehicles seem to have huge wheel arches that look better with a 17" wheel than a realtively undersized 15" application, the E30 looks quite good with a 15" wheel. The desire to move to a larger wheel in Japanese vehicles has created a high supply of "undersized" 15" wheels in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, which depresses prices for them due to low demand and adequate supply.

Again, I did not consider all market forces when I made my initial post. Hence the reason that I made the post in the first place. Several members have educated me as to the answer to my initial inquiry. For that, I am appreciative.
