15x8" wheels 20mm offset

[joshh]

These wheels will fit the E30 and they are 15x8. They will be going up in cost a bit but right now they are a great price.
They sell them with the 225 45 15 RS-2 Hankooks if you want.
It's a Honda site so don't wet your pants.

Promising, but it kind of looks like the center bore is 59.1 mm only. I sent the seller on ebay a message, I'll report back.

Looks promising if they are not too soft.

I got a quick answer back, that's kind of nice. 59.1 mm, and no centering rings available. I looked at 1010 tires and they don't list any for 59.1>57.1 either. They do look pretty nice though, only 13.4 lbs.

Full answer from the seller:

59.1 only. No centering rings needed for a race wheel. I designed the wheel with the smal center bore of 59.1 to retain more material in the mounting pad. That extra material allowed me to make the pad thinner to reduce weight while actualy making the wheels stronger. As opposed to most generic aftermarket wheels with huge 73mm bores and thick centering rings. The 73 bore is a default for 5 lug cars so wheel makers use that bore for every bolt pattern even though it is not optimum for the 4x100.

If you are runnig with wheel studs, I think you'd be fine with these. I thought I needed rings with my Moda Sports - then I ran a weekend at MidOhio without them (high speeds obviously) and was just fine. No wobbling, no roughness, etc.

No wobbling, no roughness, etc.

Thanks Dave, that's been my experience with other makes of cars but everyone on BMW forums make it sound like the car is exceptionally sensitive to non hubcentricity.

Very promising, indeed.

[Dave]

As always, YMMV.

those look promising. I'm interested in the 245/40/15 Avon's he plans on importing!

Not that anyone gives a shit, but the +20 offset has been canceled.
