need to make sure they hub-centric. they look cheap and i reckon they're for another car (civic) and wont mate up w/ out additional hardware (again- centering rings). may not be worth your trouble, save up for the borbets.

how can i make sure they are hub-centric??
i unfortunately can't bring my e30 to pick them up,
and i dont really desire the type H... they look okay but i was thinking of this as more of a cheap upgrade from bottle caps until i start making more money and can buy some type A's or possibly some RS's.

for an e30 its gonna be 57.1mm (double check me though), i'd say cut out a sheet of paper to this size and measure the diamater of the opening (thats what she said)

basically the wheel centers itself and stays true due to the lip on the hub. other cars retain the centering of the wheel from lug nuts.

so the spot for the hubs gotta be 57.1mm in diameter?
and thats what you mean by hub-centric i assume.

**raafhimself** · 04-04-2011, 01:58 PM

correct. if the rim has a center-bore smaller then 57.1mm you'll need wheel spacers/adapters.

if they're bigger than you need centering rings.

either way i feel additional costs will creep in and make them more expensive than you originally anticipated. again, i feel for you- everyone hates they're bottle caps- only a few rocked them proper...and even kamotors got rid of them eventually. your money will be better spent w/ other mods.....like painting those db's you've been talking about.

good point..
i'll check them out today and try to possibly talk him down,
if they seem to be correct fitment i will probably buy them tho.
