    Absolute Lightest 15x7 E30 wheel that does NOT require spacers?

    What is it? What is the lightest track wheel I can buy for an E30 that doesn't require spacers of any sort?

    Hmm?

    Hubcentric rings matter? They were always a PAIN on my 240.

      you could probably make BBS RGF 15x7s work. ET33, ~10lbs. but not cheap!

        ET33 sounds like it's on the edge of needing a spacer.

        Volk TE37's are 9lbs in 15x7 fitment, but they are an ET43.

          I wouldn't be against them, but wheels that don't need them would be cool.

            why are you so against spacers anyway? if this is for a track car, you're probably running studs anyway, so spacers aren't a big deal.

              15x7 Kosei K1s are I believe ET27 and in the 13lb range IIRC.

                i'm guessing unsprung weight, but i'd like to know as well

                  Why 15x7?? Why not go 15x8 so that 225's sit better? I doubt you are going to be racing competitively, so wheel weight doesn't really matter that much, so long as they are around 15lbs or less


                  Keep it slideways!!

                      Try Kodiak. Not cheap, but they'll be about the lightest a wheel can safely be made.

                        10.5lbs and forged. A bit pricey though.

                        I want a set for my MG...

                          Not bad, but when you factor another additional cost and weight (1-1.5 lbs) for the spacers needed for non-ix applications, they become a bit less appealing...

                              What is the factory offset for an e30? I thought it was et35? I guess the width of the wheel changes that though...
