7.5 et 20's all around. Im wondering if they require centering rings. Steve said if they did it would come with the wheels. I just hate having to use centering rings.

I think you made a good choice with the 7.5's.

And yes, shipping from Tunershop is defintely sweet; very fast UPS service.

On another note, be prepared to pay some dutys and brokerage fees when those wheels come in through the US border. That is if they are coming from Germany. My charges were outrageous, but I'm in Canada and the % is higher.

They won't declare the value lower either...:x

I asked Steve about the customs/duties tax and he said the normal cost for a set of four wheels is $26.00 I hope he is right since the last time I imported a $300 item I had to pay around $120.00 in customs fee's.

Shit, good deal.
Too bad they are et35. I dont want to run spacers.
You should grab em.

[nkell09]

ahh... yep thats a problem, didn't see the ET35...

good choice on the wheels though

Steve said they will be avalible in 3 days and I will have them next week. Im just figuring by the end of next week. Im in no rush anyway. We spoke briefly about your car :mrgreen:

Steve is an alright guy, he's helped me out a few times, can't wait to see some pics of the new shoes.

Great buy!! I've been drooling over those rims for over a year now. I cant wait to see what the 7.5's look like. I dont mean to highjack the thread but do the 17 x 8.5 et15 come in 4 lug? I would like to have a nice lip but at the same time have the rears tucked a little better in the rear then the 16 x 9's. Also with an 8.5 width i should be ok not stretching the tires that much correct? Someone enlighten me.

Thanks, Dave

take pics asap! I'm gonna be ordering mine in a couple weeks most likely, and I'm debating between 16x7.5 or 17x8.5. I don't midn rolling the fenders, car needs paint in a few spots anyway.

I can't get a good idea of the 16s because I would want to run them witha decent tire, and all the euro guys who have them have stretched tires

and I'm not sure about the 8.5's, as I'd want to run 235 or 245 on them, and I'm concerned about rubbing, even with rolled fenders

[ACHTUNG]

I can't wait to see them on your ride also. I came so close to ordering the KT1's 2 months ago but ended up ordering the Ronal LS. Maybe in a year or so I'll get the KT1's. Anyway, nice purchase VT.Bimmer!!!

[MR 325]

Nice choice on everything, it's gonna look damn good. I have the same tires on the way to me in 235/40/17

[e30 gangsta]

man those are teh rims. IM mixed between that or ronal. Please post em up. And i <3 bronzit

[vt.bimmer]

Thanks guys.
As much as I like the Borbet A's and B's for the old skool look, I think the KT1 classics will fit the overall look of my e30.
They Keskins wont be mounted on the car untill at least April when I do a weekend transformation to the e30. My wallet is empty and my closet's are full. Spring cant come soon enough!

17x8.5" ET15 is huge. You'll be very slightly outside of the fenders.

If you mount 215's or 225's to them, they'll looked stretched. Man up: get 245's, roll the fenders, and a very stiff suspension (GCs....) and you'll make it.
