Where to find these here wheels?

[Bimmerfanatik]

Anyone seen these wheels in a 16x7.5 or 8? 17's are too big...but that lip is teh hotness. Where the heck can I find them?



Best looking wheels on an E30. Period.

There replicas from far far away.

Good luck.

(seriously not to be an ass they are hard to find and from far away two memembers probably know how to get em, Mystikal and the guy he got em from)

BBS RS or RZ (whichever are the 2 peice with replaceable rims) can be had in 15 or 16". they are expensive but oh so sexy.. I think there's a place in canada that sells refurbished ones.

BBS RS. The 16" ones are fairly easy to find, just not easy to pay for. E-Bay (globally), VW forums, etc.

The 17" ones though, I'll be damned if I see another set anytime soon. :D

Unless you get extremely lucky, you would most likely be better off pulling a 5lug swap and using the e39 sport pack rims. exact same look, much more common. (Not sure if they come in 16s though)

Sorry to burst your bubble but 16" only come in 16x7".

They are very hard to find. Especially compared to 15x7" RM's and such.

Also, if you plan to make them any larger, expect to pay even more, larger dish cost big $ for parts and labor.

BBS RS's are just about how much money you have, and how big your pockets are. I got lucky and scored a set of 16x7" for $800 and had them refinished. Just waiting on my last wheel of the set to be done.

Good luck.

Place in Canada, eh? Anyone know more about this? I would love to get a hold of some BBS RZ's before my damn TSW's shake off my car.

RZ's are rare, and there's this guy I know in Jersey who has two sets. I'll see what his asking price on one may be...

Your best bet in terms of finding these style of wheel is the BBS RM in 15x7" off Volkswagen forums, then having them refinished.

Visit www.vwvortex.com and check the for sale ads for RM's. They were stock on MKII Golf GTI's (mid 80's)

you can take them apart and get new lips for them and make them as wide as you like

about $600 for a set of lips custom made for RM's from kodaik (3.5" and 2.5")

IDK, those do look funny in the pics, but I think thats just b/c they are 17s. I dont think they are replicas. They also have 34 bolds per wheel just like the authentics. Something is a bit screwy with the lip.
