Wheels falling off...help

[tomwas]

Allright, allright, I guess I am a bit uptight and white... I know the car needs lower etc, the car was from Cali until 97 and then came to the NE so it is very clean body and undercarriage wise... Hey, i'm a bargain basement car guy, have had a number of cars over the years, $3k bucks is on my high limit on down to tow it away and it's yours..... Buy low, have some fun in ownership and make a few bucks and do it all over again and again and again.... The E30 is a modern classic car as far as i'm concerned, always liked them and it only took me 20+ years to get my first one... My only garage for the past 12 years has been my driveway, in the midst of winter that really sucks but you got to do what you got to do.... Is anyone here in the NE going to G-Fest at Levents' on May 20th, went last year for the 1st time with my 87is and never have seen so many E30's in one place before, hope to get my cabrio on the road for the event...

Calm your balls and relax..
You got these rims cheap, WITH another set of tires.
Sell the mexi-rims, and put that money towards some better wheels..

I tightened them with my torque wrench and they are secure now, thanks to those that know how to offer assistance with out being an ass....^^

Woaa, hold on there. who's fault is it? I love garbage wheels, as long as they are true, at least i can bolt them on my car properly. Just apologize, excuse your bad taste and give thanks. Move on.

Had not torqued them will give that a try...


Lugs seem to go in their full depth, the wheel is not too thick at the hub...

They seem to go hard back...

I thought they looked decent, especially for $125 bucks, plus they are giving me another full set of tires for them....

where's a giant facepalm pic when you need one?

I thought the moderators are supposed to put such posters in "timeout" like the 5 year olds they appear to be......

Yeah, no. Moderation consists of people like you leaving.

[bcusitsjeff]

maybe the bore size is different?

me and a honda buddy of mine tried switching wheels for a day for shits and giggles, and the same thing happened to me, except i noticed leaving my driveway..... lol

Nope. This is r3v, not bf.c.

As you can see already, this forum is more loose than others. While that means all the asshats and bandwagoners show, it's also having more freedom of speech and opinion we value. Thick skin helps a lot here as there are quite a bit of children around, but if you stay you might loosen up and have a bit of fun too. The wheels do look like ass, but hey they work and were cheap right?

[Bimmerista]

Sorry...but those wheels belong in one place and thats in the garbage.

Go pay to be on E30tech.

Not all that true. VW/Audi, Honda/Acura, and Mercedes are the only big carmakers that use ball seat lug nuts/bolts. BMW, along with everyone else and just about every aftermarket wheel, use cone seat lugs.

Yes, the wheels are conical, got a couple of new lugs from my BMW tech down the street to replace the damaged ones and ordered up a set hub centric rings, again, thanks to all that offered up viable assistance...

[tomwas]

You need to learn not to be so thin skinned. Reacting like this makes you look like an even bigger idiot than those wheels do.
