    BRAID wheels

    Has anyone used BRAID wheels on their E30? and if so have some pictures and opinions on them.

    This is their site:- http://www.braid.es/wheels/

    They can make certain wheels in any size and offset.

    I am looking at the forged and winrace tct atm.

    Love these wheels. I personally think any of the older- style wheels would look the tits on an e30.


    Go here be happy!

        seems to be quite hard to find anyone using them, but the quality is there and the fact you can get virtually any offset and width is appealing.

          ^ This is the case for almost any multi piece wheel maker though. For example, every Japanese wheel company does custom specs, even though they dont have it on their charts. The chart sizes are just suggestions/off shelf sizes. I think you have to stick to the wheel width range they have (min and max) but you can ask for any offset you want within reason e.g. usually goes from like -30 to +55 or something!

          This is also the case with Image in the UK, the big US companies, and also Gotti, BBS etc.

          The only wheels that don't offer all different sizes are generally (obviously!) the single peice cast type wheels. Any 3 piece you can generally ask for whatever and they can mix and match the peices and make it for you :)

              Yes, some very cheesy race cars.

                  Compomotive does custom wheel specs as well.

                    I was also going to mention Compomotive. And going through their brochure that I got from my local dealer they can also provide many offset options with some of their forged wheel range. Aswell as their 3 piece range.
                    Check out their website and find a local dealer. The guy here said bring the car down to his shop and he'll perform measurements to get the perfect fitment.

                            These wheels are great. I was also looking at these as an affordable option for new E30 wheels.

                              I have seen them on some E30's before and was looking at those as well as "Speedline"
