    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:

      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?

        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?

            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

              do you know how much they are going to weigh 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

                          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.

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

                              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

                                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.
                                I love sitting down and just driving!
