^those are sweet!
More info?

8x15 et 15 made by Performa, 600€ a set. That´s all i know.
I´ve looked for the manufacturer site but i can´t find it.

I´ve been humming and hawing over these since i first saw them, but wonder if ´15´s will look too small.

Found these 15x8 ´Alpina reps for sale on another forum. Must be a new offering, because i´ve never run across them before.





I don´t like 15´s but these could sway me.

Well I ended up with a boring eibach pro kit set that really didnt drop the car much. If I go with the above set (C1's with 225/45/15), I shouldn't have to roll my fenders should I? Or should I go /50 to fill in the gap a lil more?

I would go with a 50 series. It fills the wheels nicely and it's usually cheaper option then a 45 series. You may need a slight roll, not 100% on that.

i second the 15x8 et20. but I like a 225\45 better

anyone know where i can see a side pick of this car, and a suspension setup?

Called them up nd changed it to a 195 for the front I'll post pics wen they come in

Why not a 225 up front, same as the back?

Edit: Did not look at the date...

Would I need to roll the fenders with this set up? Have h&r race springs on.

Just to throw some more persecutive in here... 15x8 +5 with 225/45

was this just a standard rolled fenders or did you go all out on them ( getting into "pulled" category), any rubbing at full lock or with people in the back? and what tire brand/model are these?

how do your 15x8 +10 wheels with 225s fit like that? I tried a similar size and they do not go close to that clearance

You are correct, i am laughing at you or at least your front tire choice. I hope you like understeer!


I really hope you meant to type another size.

lol to b completely honest I think ima have to order 195's but ima see first

[LJ851]

Lol u guys are going to laugh at me. I genuinely joined this forum because of this thread. I was looking up wheel tire combos on e30s that have the same combo that are in the mail. With that being said I will b running a 15x8 +10 with 165/45r15s and 15x9 +10 225/45r15s on the back ....
