16" alpinas. best offset question

[kronus]

Open with caps to cover the hub bore. Covers would be more bits to make, keep them open for now.

[Pabl0]

option is the best to go IMO. But that also means you have to make covers and a way to get them to stay on.

edit... I have an extra set of covers, and original alpinas, in both open lug and with covers. If you need pictures, specs, glad to help/lend.

so your saying give people the option? dude that'd be awesome if you could help out. we were gonna buy one wheel to make sure its exact. well besides the polished stepped lip haha. these guys have been building my adapters and spacers for years and recently started to do my fill n drills and whatever else i need. just got a set of rs's centers polished and their work is quality.

im hoping to have pics buy the sencond week of october. they said they can start on them as soon as the barrels are in and those will be in friday.

do et15, and definately do 16x8. Its a great setup for an e30.

[Pabl0]

well the offset can be changed to the customers specs. while we are outsourcing the hoops the forged centers will be machined in house allowing us to dial it in for people.

Hmmmm... 16x8 Alpinas sitting at ET10 front and ET5 rear, with a 205/50 on them... now my cock is hard. :up:

Yours and mine both.

It isn't gay, it's 16" Alpinas!!

Wait, so are these going to be 2-piece?

[Pabl0]

well technically, yeah. they will be forged billet centers welded into a polished stepped lip barrel.

[Jand3rson]

Oh, ok. Nevermind, I was about to totally lose interest.

So about how much of a lip would these have in 16x8? That's one of the things I hate about the Kopis, is that there's no lip, when the real 16" Alpinas have a decent one.
