    but he keept the stock wheels!
    That's a Vlad car. And those aren't even the stock ix wheels either, they are the 14" basketweaves from an IS.

      Do you know how many people join just to have US figure out what to buy or do? Called search r3v or google, anything you can think of has been done already someplace. Sorry for coming off as harsh but it gets old.

      On topic:
      If you go with 15" 205/50/15 would be perfect with those suspension parts. You will be low enough to have a clean look without affecting the AWD system. Problem solved =)

      The look will be like that silver iX above with the intercooler piping sticking out. Except without the shitty ESM BBS RS fakes. I personally own BBS RS and love them, so no hate friend.

      welcome to r3v and if you cannot handle a little hazing then BF.C is for you ;)

            15''s

            Look at the stamping marks, you can see the model RS001 on the left between the lug holes. RS001 and RS003 are direct fit, for 001 look to pay 600-1,400 depending on finish and shape of lips. his look refinished with 2.5" lips, hard to tell from top shot. So they are at the top end of that price. The 003 are a MUCH harder to find 4x100, they come in 16" and are most desired for our cars. Look to pay 1k min-2k+ all depends on lips and care in the rebuild. I saw a set not long ago in 003 with 3.5 lips sell for 3,500. Most I have seen are custom 003 with custom lips made to 17" those sold for 6k or something crazy.

            Wheels can get insanely expensive my friend.

            here is mine:

            16x8.5 with 2" lips et45 with 25mm adapters.

                    kopi.

                    and there just might be a million pictures of e30s on RS's. look around. just don't expect major dish.

                    you're getting heat because RS's are almost infinitely customizable to size and fit, with enough pockets.

                      It's all personal taste. When I need a lot of clearance for the snow, drive 4X4 truck.

                      I bought this IX, loving it lowered. Can you say auto-x?

                      H&R sports/ Bilsteins on this set up. Wish I had some BBS 03's and a million bucks.
                      But I'd be happy with some ESM clones if anyone is giving them away.
                      Like to put some snow tires on these weaves. Some day.
