LMAO! That is some stupid shit right there. I would be pissed if i bought a set and realized that after the fact.

@pabl0

Interesting...maybe i should learn how to use CAD. Do you have any pics of sets you have already had made?

This would be amazing if this happened. And I don't even have an E30.

Make me some 18" 5x120 Alpina reps :)

yes kinda. until i started working with them they've only made bling bling wheels. nothing for the european market and thats why im trying to get this started. they are open to my ideas but i need to show them things will sell haha. we do have some 17x8 hoops and are looking for ideas of what people would buy. i want to wait for the alpinas, which btw we should see some product next week, but would people like the throwing stars in a 17" 4 lug if they were done the correct way?

also whats the deal with wheels fitting on the IX?

iX wheels are FWD offset. et41 stock.

iX wheels are FWD offset. et41 stock.

From what Nando has said you can do an 8in. wide wheel if it is between 33 and about 35 for an offset.

If the throwing stars were made properly and had an ix offset as a possibillity I would defintiely be interested.
Not sure if you could do it but, some m system II's would be cool with some 4 lug hub caps if you have the abillity to do that.

[Pabl0]

oh well if its just an offset issue, thats no problem.

[DrMcDave]

my ix has 17x8 et30 w/ 215/40r17. Not rolled and no rubbing unless a very fat kid is in the back.

[Pabl0]

should have a set of 16's done next week!!!

[325ix]

Yep, ix's just need a higher offset.

[ian e30 318is]

Any progress on the 16x8 alpina reps??

[rav320uk]

[kronus]

[Pabl0]
