[Van Westervelt]

yeah yeah, no1 wants to see yer bits n pieces anywayz, lets see some BBS porn.

I don't get what you're talking about regarding this "I don't post my bits"??

His balls.

I thought that was what he might have been saying but it was so stupid and didn't make sense.

Pulling from pg 1.

No I was not talking about my balls you queers. I will gladly show you my nuts if you want to see them.

I was referring too what I possess that is bbs.

Just so this post isnt a waste...

I love the first picture. It looks so good how the tire is sinking into the grass. Centercaps and lips don't look too bad either ;)

Need help guys, my RM's originally came off a VW. The taper on the BMW lug bolts is different than where they sit in the wheels. Do VW lug bolts work on an e30? I just measured the thread on OEM BMW lug bolts and it came up as 1.5mm.

Thanks

BMW's I guess have a conical seat whereas VW is spherical?

Edit: Post up some pics, alex?

[Rogan]

vw is 12x1.5
and the seat is different? weird..

VW


BMW





secondly, would the VW offset be way off?

[alexd]

It would be hard to post pics of what I am talking about. I place the OEM lug bolt in the BMW wheel and it sits in the whole perfect, when I do that in the VW wheel it wiggles around, not seating well.

Anyone know what the pitch is on the VW wheels? BMW is m12x1.5 too with a pitch of 60 degrees

pitch? of the seat? or the thread? the seat of the lugs used for VW stock rims are ball shaped, not conical.
