    Anyone have pics of the 15x7 style 3 wheels on an e30? The wheels came on the 750il.

      You could try "Googling" it, but I doubt anyone has run those.

        well i decided to buy a set i found at the local salvage yard. Getting some adapters soon, so ill post some pics when theyre mounted. i still have not found a pic of them on the e30... so this should be fun.

        i plan on using 42DD 18mm adapters

        specs: 15x7 et20, so et2 with the adapters.

        what size tire should i use: 205/50, 205/55, or 225/50? (car is lowered)

            Curious as to how much you paid for said set of wheels. I just bought a set today ahah. You can PM me if you dont want to disclose this on the thread.

              1, these are magnesium wheels that are now near 30 years old.

              2, they were my winter beater wheels.

              3,





              5, another member on here has them on his vert.

                Just a heads up. Magnesium isn't a popular wheel choice for a road car. Magnesium is prone to stress cracks and severe pitting. Some newer compounds of magnesium and aluminum are a better option but still are recommended for track use and in some cases are made with an expiration date.

                Of course this could be a different story with these wheels but I would still recommend doing a VERY thorough inspection before using them.

                        paid about $130ish, but missing 2 centers. And they need to be painted, but no curb rash or bends. Idk what these are worth so i guess i did ok

                          I've only ever seen 1 set of these wheels for sale. They actually look pretty cool on an E30.

                            does JTapper's vert have a spacers or 5lug conversion?

                              He had a custom 5 lug setup.
