    I saw in a Euro tuner mag or something like that, that a company was going to make wheels that look like they are straight up steel wheels. They are 15X8's though. I thought that sounds pretty awesome. IF i recall correctly they were for old VW's but the bolt pattern and offset was the same. And I think they were a variation on some kind of Wolfsberg wheel. Maybe that was the company that makes them.....

            Those are the standard for classic American muscle -- Chevelles, etc. They've been in the Summit Racing catalogues for years. They look like NASCAR steelies.

              Also take note of the weight --- they're steel --- so some of those 15x8's weigh 25 pounds...

                  Diamond's "Avenger" series is a pretty good deal. 15x8 is 16lbs and costs $80

                  I was going to get a set for the track until 15x8 rotas became an option

                      IR's Stardard DOT wheel looks good but 24lbs is pretty heavy. Too bad considering they are local to me.

                            Wow those wheels from BHR look awesome. Did you say you were getting a set Karlspackler? If so is it for an E30?

                              I had diamond racing wheels on my 02, never had a problem with them. They're not hubcentric which sucks but besides that.
