    I wanna see deep dish 15's!!!!

    Who has deep dish 15" rims on thier e30?? i saw some that i really like but i dont know if it would look goofy with a rim that small. Oh, and by deep dish i mean REAL DISH, not some little 1' inch lip. Post up pics. Thanks!

      those look good. The ones i wanna get would have a good 3" of dish though, so if anyone has a pic of something like that id love to see em!

      By the way would i be able to run an 8" wide rim with an offset of 0?

        Usually when people run big lipped wheels, they are 16's. 16x9 is sorta the classic "euro" size. Take a look at e30.de for that. Yes, it's in German, but with a little sense you can navigate it. Wide 15's don't work on E30's so well, unless you run really undersized tires (not only width, but also an abnormally short sidewall), which will give you that "rat" look.

          I would like 16's, but the rims i want only come in 15" for the ones with the fat lip. http://www.sportmaxwheel.com./wheels.shtml its the 002 ones. I saw them on a miata and thought they looked absolutly sick. I was going to upload the pic right now but photobucket it being stupid...

                  That company actually has some of the nicest ricer multilug wheels I've seen.

                  The 006, 003, 962, 002, and 925 could all potentially look good on an E30. The 002's look really slick in the gallery. I'd say go for them. What color centers are you thinking? Also, be sure the offsets all work, as they are on a FWD Scion xB in the picture.

                        not a chance. They would stick out of the fender like 3/4".

                          How sure are you that those are 15's? To me, based on the center caps, those look like RS's, which I believe only came in 16. The 15 inch version was the RM, which can be distinguished by the center cap. The RM's centers had dots surrounding the BBS peice on the middle, while the RS's center caps continue the weave pattern (as seen there).



                          Here are some RM's (15 inch), notice the dots.

                            I know for a fact they are 15x9's, I saw them in person, they belong to Greg form e30ech.

                              That isnt true at all. RS are 3 piece wheels either 15" 16" or 17"

                              RM's are 2 piece wheels that only came in 15"
