    Wheel #3 is NOT a BMW wheel. It is from a 90's Jaguar XJS.

    There are way too many wheels on those pallets. All of them look familiar.
    Which ones are you interested in?

    Just these three wheels,nothing else on the pallet.

    Wheel #1 was my favorite. Seen them before. Thought about getting them and powdering them black for my M3.Just to have and switch now and then from silver to black.

    Wheel #2, I just wanted to know if they were just regular E30 basket weaves or not

    And Wheel #3, I thought were old school and was hoping to get a great deal on and turning them to buy and powder wheel #1.
    Being that they are not an old school BMW kinda kills the whole idea now.

    Thank for your help on this. Your info was very helpful.

              Are your fenders and quarter panels rolled?
              If you are slamming it, I recommend 205/40/16 OR 205/45/16. It will have a little stretch.
              I hate XXRs because of their Zero offset philosophy.
              You can also run 215/40. Requires little fender pulling and full rolling.

                sho...

                i have a set of 15x7 wheels..

                that have 205/55/15s on it... and they are pretty squared up...

                and i found some 205/50s for a good price... but i feel like those might b a little low pro for my car on stock suspension...

                so is there a way i could maybe get a little wider tire and have a good sidewall? like a 215/50? or is that weird??

                also i want some good all season tires.. that will b good in the wet for the winter..

                ive looked at some falken 502s and falken 912s.. but i also saw some hankook ventus HRII??

                or any other recomendations??

                    400/650lbs coils.
                    205/45, may not even need a roll with that spring rate.

                      Go adapters, 20mm all around. 215/40/17 all four.

                        Yup that works with some extra love on the rear arches. Same spacer advice.

                          Don't recommend them. 205/40 with a shitload of fender work is your only real choice.

                            Need the offset first.

                              16x9.5 clears at +7 (paper clearance here).

                                Would you know of anywhere i could find a picture of this fitment?
                                The offset of these wheels it 38, they have a 2inch lip and are 9.5 wide, needing +7 up front i imagine they're going to be hideously poked? am i wrong?
                                right now my 16x9 +10 fit perfectly, Just outside the fender
