Wheel opinions?

[Avus E30]

I am tired of 14s i wanted 16s but decided 15s were better option because the tires are incredibly cheaper. and sadly I actually have a budget unlike a lot of guys here.

sounds cool...I was just gonna used them as track rims when I get new ones so no prob...just trying to help out if I could

the new ones I might be getting today are 16x7 et26 :)

asu - How much were you going to sell those rims for? Shipping just for rims should be around $50 or so?

[asubimmer]

i have no clue bout shipping but the price would depend on if you wanted the tires or not. I have falken ziex on them and the tread is still good...I don't know what % is left b/c they came on the car bout 3 months ago. b/c of the unfortunate act of my window self destructing my car is no longer w/ me at school right now so I can't measure the tread. My little e30's hangin out in my garage right now.

I actually need some winter wheels. I have the tires, but just some wheels to put them on. I found some b-caps locally, but couldn't bring myself to put them on my car. :D

Personally, I think that wheel is a HUGE step from BC's. Do you plan on keeping 15's no matter what? If so, not a bad plan.....except...figure $40 to $60 for bead blasting (unless you have a deal somehow) and another $25 or so in rouge, sandpaper, paint, etc. PLUS the hassle/labor to make 'em boootiful....

I would heartily recommend waiting until you can either find something really cheap you are OK with, or wait until you find what you really want.

BTW, I really like the blacked out look with that blue. Very classy. I would say a 17 would look sweet, but that is just my personal opinion.

My fav rim of all time would be a 16 BBS RX but I cant afford them so I gotta settle for now these bottle caps are killin me. They are starting to make me get tired of the car, i think If i changed i would feel a little more uumph in working on it.

So izzat like the "I ain't got the money for the wheels I want bruise"?

HA! Ya paints yer car, so now you think you iz a bruise singer, huh?

Offer $200 on those wheels. Remember, they basically fit nothing else.

How many E30's in your town?

I can sand blast my rims if the buyer wants for free but IMO the paint is in pretty good condition. I will get better pics when I go home to fix my window.

what size tires should you run w/ a 16x7 wheel? There are a couple websites for it but I can't remember them. Maybe a mod shoudl sticky a website since its a pretty common question.

I'm running 205/50/16's on a 16x7.5. If you go to tirerack, it calculates the appropriate sizes for you. *(note: they're not always correct, but with E30's, they are.)

I thought about going 215/45. Maybe the next set...

205/50-16 and 225/45-16 are the only sizes that are pretty much perfect factory size.
