    Pic request: 5 lug e28 bottlecaps on an e30

    Never seen this done before on an e30 but I'm sure someone on the forums has some pics of a 5 lugged swapped car with e28 bottle caps - I wanna see how they'll look.

    Here's the wheels I'm talking about (I think they're 15's which is cool):

      Ha, I'll put some on my car for the ultimate sleeper effect..

      Aptyp has the 15" E36 bottlecaps on his E30, and they look excellent. They dont really draw much attention, I didnt even notice that the car was 5-lug until he said something.

          Sweet, yeah the e36s bottle caps are alright but they're definately different than the e28's which are like the e30's with a little deeper lip so they'd probably look sick with the right tires.

              TRX wheels, good luck getting e30 sized tires

                  the biggest problem I see, is that they wouldn't clear e36m3 brakes...


                  e36 bottle caps looked great though, it caught a lot of people off guard counting lugs and trying to make sense. They may look slightly different, but when on the car, they look right at home. And this was over standard e36 brakes.

                      Those in the original post arent TRX wheels.

                          actually, the standard e28 bottlecaps are 14"s. the "TRX" wheels are very close to 15"s, but cannot use the 15" tires.

                          i thought about doing a 5-lug swap and pulling the wheels off my e28 before i scrap it. just for the sleeper status.

                              WAIT, so if I see 15" Bottlecaps like those up top, they're rare? What are they worth?
