Nice but expensive taste... :up:

Nice but expensive taste... :up:

Yeah....perhaps a bit much. But you do get what you pay for! Here's some figures...

The Brock B1s (16x7.5) are $228/ea thru http://www.tunershop.com/

The CR 7s (16x7.5) are $271 thru http://www.tunershop.com/

The OZ Superleggeras (16x7) are $239 thru http://www.tirerack.com

The SSR Competitions (16x7) are $295 thru http://www.tirerack.com

Of course if you wanted to save some money you could consider 15" wheels instead. I heard that Ronal is having a sale thru the end of Sept. on their LS (the 15x7.5 basketweave......much nicer than factory b-weaves) for around $600 for a set. I also know there are a number of offset options you can get with this wheel as well. Might want to check it out if it interests you.

the CR7s are nice, but Im unsure of what it would look like on the e30. Id love to see those on the car. Anyone have a pic?

Gunni also has them in 17x8.5 front and 17x9.5 rear.

Jon = the man :up:

I'm rocking SSR Comp's on a red car and I think they look good. Any of the ones Jon suggested are great. IMHO, you don't want to cheap out on wheels. They are one of the cars major defining characteristics.

hmm... now i dont know if i like the CR7s or not..

its off topic, but i think if yer gonna run those painted eyebrows, then you should paint
the kidney grill body color also, or just paint the eyebrows black, the red just stands out
too much on the eyebrow pieces...just my

well since you have a fwd offset in 4x100, u can run any rim that is made for a honda without any spacers. run some OZ rims or something....

NO.

just because he CAN run cheap honda shit wheels, doesn't mean he should. also, ET41 (factory offset) wheels sit WAY inside the fenders, even on an ix. and, most honda wheels are ET45. Aftermarket wheels for the ix tend to be between about ET35. My wheels are ET24 :twisted:

I think SSR comps would look awesome, they wouldn't require spacers on our car and you could run 225/45-16 tires for extra meat :)

oh, and ronals are not an option for the ix. ET25 15x7.5" will rub the fenders unless you run an undersized tire, which would look really stupid.

just an FYI, ET25 will require you to roll the rear fenders (not too much though). you'll need to run the factory tire size (205-55). should be fine in the front (you don't have offset control arm bushings do you?)
