    Found 4x100 LM knock offs, thoughts? Edit title.

    So, like many I love to rock Style 5's, but aside from going 5-lug or moving West for fill n drill the dream has just been a dream.

    I randomly found these on the bay, i was hoping for some feedback and also share the info.

          My apologies for calling them style 5 reps, guess I just had them on the brain. Aside from not knowing the weight and the 73 hub, I am very tempted.

            Me too. I didn't see them on the Varrstoen site, so I emailed to ask about the weight. I'll let you know if I hear back.

            Edit: This ebay listing claims that they're 18 lbs each.

              style 5s (rc090) dont belong on an e30 unless its an m3.
              redrills are dangerous as the centerbore is too big
              16" redrill is cool

                These look really good if their reps. If I didn't have my wheels I would have picked these up in a heart beat.

                  These are always posted on craigslist. Here is an add for 5 lug, but if you contact they can get you 4 lug.



                  If I could do 17x8 and 17x9 I would buy them, but I cannot imagine 17x9 in the front.

                  I imagine it would be sort of ridiculous.

                      Got an email back from Varrstoen, he said yes they do stock those wheels now, and also said they weigh about 14 lbs each. Not sure if I buy that, that's pretty light. Someone buy them and find out!

                        15-20mm adapters are a perfect fit to the e30. Redrills are safe when they are done by a shop that knows what they are doing. 17" wheels are perfect for the e30.

                          Ideally the largest or rather widest I would want is 235/45/16, but not an easy tire to find.
                          245/45/16 would yield a 24.7 tire height verse the ideal 24inch, this tire is also easier to find. I'm simply guessing but think either choice would need a little fender rolling, Again this is guess due to width.
                          The claimed offset is spot one, but I did call the seller after finding their website and I was disappointed to see the same wheel their but with that multiple bolt pattern deal. I am still waiting on a return call.
                          I still need to research what to do about their 73.1 verse our 57.
                          Will keep posted.

                            if the wheels you get are actually the ones pictured, than they look really good! so many times those ebay/knock off wheel sellers picture some really pretty, low offset wheels with a flat face, then when you get them they have a very different layout of the lip/face usually more of the fake-lip low offset style.

                            basically, they show the right wheel style, but often the wrong actually wheel you are buying.

                              The Varrstoen V4 isn't listed on aspecwheels.net.... which ones did you find?
