    Im a fan of sport max I like the silver 962, I dont really like how they are multi-fitment but I can get over it.
    I have a set of bbs wheels and the only reason I have them is because they came on my car I hate spending money on wheels, I live in Boston and hate cleaning my wheels so cheap wheels are just what I like. My DD mini has rotas, same deal
    Anything can be done

      The problem is the multi-lug fitment, it screams cheap ricer wheels, aside from that they're fine wheels if you're not tracking the car.

        i have 205/45 tires on 16X8 et 15 offset, late model and lowerd too...no rubbin at all even when cornering hard.

        Can't beat them for the pice and the sweet deepdish.
        I Love the way your wheels looks against the color of your car.

        On a side note, is it any different from a regular E30 to roll ix fenders? Is it even possible to stretch ix fenders?

            the sportmaxx hate is great, then more people won't be rolling the same wheels as me. As far as I'm concerned any wheel under 20lbs is doing well enough. Sportmaxx or XXR are also all approved to the same standards as any other wheel so not sure why people think they are junk.

            In anycase you need to roll the shit out of your guards. I love the look of my 522's.

              I'm coming up with a center cover/cap for the 521s. Once they are finished I might market them to people who would like a cleaner looking wheel and to hide the extra lugs.

                  No hammer!! idk about how far you have to stretch but maybe a good roll will do it. There is a diy on fender rolling.

                    With the tire size you are running, a good fender rolling with an actual fender roller will help a lot. Are you rubbing in the rear or front?

                      Thanks to you too.. I'm scraping in the rear. I'm looking forward to the custom centercaps ur creating too. Keep me posted. Is the pic on your avatar one? Looks sick!

                      On another note.... I'm not sure if I have bilstein sport or hd.. Can I buy the sport cartridge for my current billies no matter which one I have. How's that work? Thanks again. Damn I hate being a noob.

                        Picture in my sig were my last wheels which are now for sale. If you are rubbing in the rear, feel under there. You will feel a bump on the backside about mid fender. That is usually what rubs. If you cut a small relief line into the notch/bubble you can then bang it in with a hammer. Be carful if you do this, you could damage the outside of the fender if you are not careful.

                        For the dampers, your best bet is to find the P/N on the strut and figure out what you have. There is no "exchanging" cartridges. You'll have to buy new ones.

                            You'll need to be under the car and/or remove the wheel to find the number. For the fronts, you need to remove the wheel, strut, and then the damper from the housing.

                              The only purple springs i know of are vogtland. There were a few people selling billie vogtland packages on ebay so odds are if you have sport shocks you'll have sport struts.
