    WHY do you need such light wheels? Seriously.

    they are 13.1. for the money they are the best wheel for the track.

    No use crying over something you have no control over. In the world of autocross, grip and size availability trump *everything* else.

    $1500 for e30 wheels is excessive enough...

    Does that extra grand give you that much of an edge over something like 15x7 kazeras? Those should (if not already) be made in e30 appropriate offset.

    Here are some Advans, only supposed to be a whisker more than the TE's in that size. http://www.pandagarage.com/wheels%20page/Advan%20RG.htm and here is the site with more info: http://www.pandagarage.com/wheels.html

    If you can afford over $7k in wheels, you would not be installing them on an E30. The E30 is wonderfully entertaining, but it's no GT3.
    You'd be surprised what some people spend on E30's...

    EDIT: Yes, over $7k in wheels is excessive.

    Good point. I wonder what their 15x7 would weigh :D...

    I forgot about Kodiak, I'll check those out.

    I wish I could find a set of VOLK TE37 Magneisum with an offset of 25. Mmm...to dream.

    Looks like about 360 a pop for 15x7 Kodiaks.

    Not a bad price.

    No mention of weight.
