    4x100 16" wheel roll-call

    In my opinion, a 16" wheel is the most aesthetically correct size wheel for an E30.

    What wheels are available for our E30s in 16"? I am talking REAL wheels.
    No multi-lug, no replicas, no "spacers needed". QUALITY replicas are ok, wheels that need hubcentric rings are OK too.

    Please post a pic if you have one, even if it is borrowed from another site.

    Aesthetically correct? 16x9s all around et9 in the front and et5 (or 0) in the back.

        Basically anything that will fit without spacers.

        What are the Schmidts like?

                good call on the slipstreams.

                my 16x7 et25 ASAs aren't the widest, lightest, or nicest looking, but they were cheap and fit really well with 215s or 225s.

                    You're really limiting yourself with just direct fitment wheels.
                    Can I ask why you are so adamant about not using spacers?

                      I just feel that the lugs are too long to be able to transfer the force well in high power applications... I don't know. It's just not "right" in my eyes.

                      I don't do replicas because from experience, they bend SO much more easily than a high quality wheel.

                      Maybe I'm over analyzing the situation?

                      Edit:
                      Quality matters. It is the same reason that I don't buy anything aftermarket. You can get a great shape used fender for $75-$125, or you can get a brand new, aftermarket fender, for $45. What gives? I never buy cars that have cheap aftermarket stuff on them. I see it as an indication that the previous owner was stingy about maintenance and repairs for the car... which translates into: lots of work needed that hasn't been done/neglect.

                      On multilug applications, there is more engineering that goes into making the wheel universal, than goes into making the wheel light, strong, and aesthetically pleasing.

                        Konig Remembers should be on this list. RS003 replicas, and they can't be THAT weak.


                        Keep it slideways!!

                          I haven't heard any bending issues from them...? sounds good!

                            I am running spacers, but only an 8mm to bring it to ET27.
