UUC D-Force lightweight 15X7 wheels

So they are $115 each from bimmerworld, not bad. Slips are 0.5" wider than these and about the same price shipped.



Lee what are yours thoughts on these in terms of caliper clearance vs slips?

Lee what are yours thoughts on these in terms of caliper clearance vs slips?

Several months ago I got a technical drawing of the wheel sent by Bimmerworld to me, but it ended up being the 14" rim. I did not receive any other draft so I cannot testify about fit or not. Nonetheless, Rob (the one from BW) sent me a few pictures on the wheel installed on his own car. Wheel looks great, and I concentrated my inspection on how the spokes meet the barrel, and how big the barrel is. I don't know if it maximizes clearance for BBKs such as the wider Race it, but have a feeling it will fit the Sport kit. But then again, don't take my word for it as I have no hands-on experience with the wheel or test-fitted it. The 15" Slipstream wheel is only 6.5" as far as I know and I prefer using a 7" to 8" rim for 225 section tires.

Understand that I am very interested in which wheel will fit (or not) the Sport or Race kit and will listen to any comment about fitments. If anybody could ask BW what is the inner diameter of the barrel (near the spokes), that would be a great help. Looking at the wheel, it shows it was designed to maximize BBK clearance. But to what extent, I don't know yet.

Profiles of both front e30 kits are still available online for test fitting.

Simply print them at 100% and cut them out. Apply the profile(s) to the back of the wheel.

I heard a few months ago about the Pro Race 1.3 and wonder how it looks and what are the benefits. The Pro race 1.0 was great, the 1.2 a notch below. Now I have hopes that the 1.3 is a better and lighter wheel.

Here's what the 17" x 9" WTCC Pro Race 1.3 BMW wheel looks like.

that is a nice looking wheel!! Hopefully they'll be available in a e30 fitment
