Rotas are in!

[FunfGan]

Yeah yeah, hate all you want, but here they are:

[Jb325is]

I think they look pretty cool, kinda hard to tell what size they are though?

[Ant_e30]

pretty old school looking, what model are they?

[N2MYE30]

Looks cool minus the black in between the spokes.

[FunfGan]

Thanks, theyre 15x9, +0 offset. Rota Shakotans, reps of an old jdm wheel called the Hyashi Street

[george graves]

Are these for an 2002 or something?

[brainspo0n]

or just get the real thing

[cbouchez]

They look good.

15x9? Not bad. 0 offset on a 9 will be hard to fit without flairs. Post pics of them on the car! 8)

Thanks! But nope, '91 318is. And i'd love to, but some of us are 16 and ergo, dont have tons of money. Im not a huge fan of flairs on e30's, so ill obviously be pulling the fenders. Ill get some pics up when I can, but im still looking for tires.

[Oz10]

You will be poking like mad on stock fenders. 15x8 0 offset pokes in the front and is flush in the rear (205/50/15s). The rears are a pain in the ass to pull too. You'll have a hard time getting these to fit. Best of luck though!

DTMfiberworkz makes some good looking flairs for e30s if you decided to go that route. They're a forum sponsor as well.

Ohhhh its gonna be a pain, but hey, they'll look sick and nobody else rocks 'em on an e30 that Ive seen. And thanks for the advice!

By the way, Whats the setup of the car in your sig?

[Ant_e30]

Man i wouldnt worry too much just yet, it seems to really depend. I have a bunch of images i've saved as i've come across them of people running 9" 0 up back without issue. No flairs. I'm looking to get my BBS RS rebuilt to 9+0 all round as well and fit those.

I think it comes down to how low you are (for camber) and how much tyre stretch you run. Also as explained by Mystikal to me before, 15x8 0 is a harder fit than 9 0 because of the different centre line location of the wheel. So you can stretch tyres and get a nicer looking fit with the wider wheel than the narrower in the same offset.

No problem man. I wanna see these fit, It's going to look dope!

That picture is from a while back, it was on 16x8 0 offset.

Ride height and camber will definitely have a huge effect on it. Thats a good point, 9s look so awesome on e30's!

Looking forward to this. Love the small centers with the slanty lips.
