Need opinion on wheels

[NcTurnL]

Hey guys
Im looking at getting better rims than those damn bottlecaps.

I found a set that I like
These are the specs

Make: Erglanz
17x7 with +40 offset
4x114.3 and 4x100 bolt pattern.
They also weight 26 pounds each..

These are not going to meant for the track, just to roll around town and look good, my bottlecaps are my track wheels.

What do you think about the offset and size * and weight * off these wheels, i'll get them for a good price so are they worth it?

[M42Technik]

Interesting design, I would keep the centercaps on to hide the 8 lug pattern you have going...

The offset is very high, you need spacers to push them out to about ET15 which is optimal with a 17" wheel on an E30. Make sure you get hubcentric spacers if you do end up getting them. The stock E30 centerbore is 57.1mm.

The size is pretty heavy, you'll probably notice it a bit, but if you say they're for cruisin' then no worries. It also depends on how much you are going to get them for...

You will certainly need spacers for these, the minimum offset for a 17x7 wheel on an E30 is +28. You will need a 15-20mm spacer at the front, perhaps at the rear too.

They are quite heavy too and they are not actually pretty either. Not for an E30 anyway. But if they are pretty cheap they may worth it. Aren't there any other alternatives?

[NcTurnL]

Well I dont know about any other alternatives
I kinda like these rims ( I dont know why )
I guess its the unique design?

Well either way im getting thes for about 350
sounds like a good deal?

And why hubcentric spacers? are those normal spacers? (sorry I dont know what hubcentric is)
and you think 20mm will be good? If so, I think I MIGHT go for these, unless I can find something like this or better for just as good of a price.

[NcTurnL]

alright, well I found another set of rims that are pretty cheap to, I think they are lighter and they obviously look better

Bad thing, they are 17inch, huge, i know, but I like the rims
what do you think?

I dont know the offset or the width yet, imma check them out this weekend, maybe end up buying them.

They are either REAL Volk TE37 or playoffs of them... so ya
How would they look on an 89 E30??? Opinions please!!!!
Thanks!

those have been mounted on a couple e30's. search members rides for "te37" or volk.

[Valvesprung]

Ooooo I like the Volks...

[NcTurnL]

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything is better than the first wheels you posted.

[Van Westervelt]

I think both are good. Its your ride so choose whichever you like best. I would rock the first ones with 20mm spacers. et20 17's look good. Wheels make the car, so make it how you like. R3V is full of pussies afraid to do their own thing.

[portisroads]

volks!

These do look good. As long as the offset is between 28 and 20 that is!

17" are fine. I was wearing 17" wheels and with larger tyres that the ones in your picture and the car was absolutely fine. Except that you'll feel the bumps from the road more of course.

Not really the same wheels but here is an idea:

Awesome, He said there 18s but I dont think so, I think hes confused....lol
Ya im excited about getting these, They look really good and I can get them for a good pricee.
BUT, I dont know the offset, imma try them on the car before I buy them, even if it is bad offset, its nothing spacers cant fix!!

Ya The first wheels are looking worse everytime I look at them, they alright, but I need a rim with a lip and one that does not weigh 26 pounds each, lol.

[tabasco]

Hmmmm...not sure what to think. I would like to see them on the car!

[NcTurnL]

Hopefully it will be soon!
