    Anyone ever get wheels widened?

    My car came with a set of e46 16" steelies. Im looking to get them widened an inch to bring it to 16x8. Anyone ever get a quote for something like this?

      For the price of widening steelies, you'd be better off calling diamond racing wheels

          From what I heard Diamond racing wheels are crappy quality, and they're also lug-centric...bmws are hub-centric.

            Everyone and their mom runs them these days, including me. I sold mine to my friend a while ago when I went 5 lug.

            Thank you very much, DR steelies retail for around 125 each, so this is definetly cheaper.

            They are solid wheels, but yes, lug centric is a bitch, especially without studs.

              Wait...holy noob question, but what's lug-centric and hub-centric?
              The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                If they wheel is centered on the hub via having the same size hub diamter, or by if the lugs are the the only thing that keep it centered
