Steel wheels Ftw

[moatilliatta]

I am thinking of getting the PRO-CHALLENGER Series from Diamond in 15x8, what is the appropriate backspacing for an a 318i?

Also what size tires would you run on 15x8's

how do you know you want 15x8 if you dont know what tire size you would like? really you can fit a wide varity of tires on there.. it up to you to choose what you like. tirerack has specs of tires and what width size of wheels the fit...

IIRC it should be about 5" maybe 5 1/8"

Measure it yourself though, I wont be held responsible if you order the wrong backspacing for your car.

225/50/15 would be perfect. I use 225/45/15 on the track since it helps overall gearing.

diamond wheels

I possibly can get an order together from Diamond....and get us a bit of a discount( expect like 10 %) My office is looking into sponsoring a local racer so thats why.......I may need like 4 sets to order......pm me for details. This is all as a favor...and I would want as little hassles as poss. Everything would have to be pre paid. Dont ask me about shipping.....I wont know.

Oh, i thought you were talking about the BHW wheels. Diamond has all their specs on their site. Good solid wheels.

[moatilliatta]

you can get one also its free. from diamind wheels.... for example there 15 x 10 wheels is like 18 pounds. with 1 -7 back spacing pretty much any bolt circle combo you could think of.... and there pretty cheap also. like 69-89 dollars depending on bolt circle..... that seems decently light. and esp for the price.

they are light.

what gives you that idea?

[moatilliatta]

they are light.

[Karlspackler]

do you know how much they are going to way and are they going to be hubcentric?

I am guessing you could give the center bore and have it machined out to your liking and I have no idea how much the weigh.

I dont exactly think these are wheels you want on the auto-x track

[automatic]

Yes, I will be ordering a set in about a month or so and yes they can pretty much do ANY bolt pattern, offset, and brake clearance.

I am ordering 16x9 et 0 with polished lips and they will run around $650-700 for the set in almost ANY COLOR.

I was going to keep it a secret so I could be "original" but who cares. :drink:

[Karlspackler]

That is awesome I may think about getting a set. I think they will still be original....I am not sure too many people are attracted to the steel look. I would definitely want a set. How do you figure out the brake clearance necessary?

It shows how to measure on their site. I did it but dont have the paper right in front of me for a stock e30's brake set up

If you guys give me ALL OF THE CREDIT, I will let you in on the place I am buying my widened steel wheels.

You all owe me

those stellies with the polished lip are pretty sweet...good find.

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

Do you have any more pictures from futher back so I can see the overall look of those wheels on the car?


Could you get hubcentric adapter rings to work with them?
