tell me about these wheels... (OZ vega?/MSW?)

[Fusion]

You sir, have become a Vega owner. There's a very scarse number of these sets left.
You can swap anything from BBS wheels. 30 bolt BBS lips won't be tight around the center, but no problem bolted up. I heard you can even use the centers from BBS (not sure).

[White325is]

I think I have lips that will fit your wheels. 3 and 3.5

BBS parts wont work, they're 30 bolt not 34. Faces are same size as 15" RS's, but uses OZ style 16" lips and barrels.

They are front corvette wheels from the mid 80's. I have the 9.5" wide version all around on my e36

So, are these the RS 178 model? I got this model and are made for corvette. I got them in 17x9,5 all arround as well but had to change the inner barrel to get 17x8 and that way will let me turn y steering.:D

It uses "vertical wide" lips instead of the wide horizontal like the 212/ 197 models (huge lips) so the centers are 16".

BBS also did the same thing. 15 and 16" had the same centers, as the 17 and 18" also

I would say they were oem on NO vehicles.

Doesn't look like an M3. Don't 2doors have the twisty skirts?

ah good eye... has an M bumper and badged side moldings.

i didnt think there was a way these wheels would clear M brakes.

Wheels look cool, waffle centers would definitely make them look better though.

not sure what they are worth but i know what i have spent ..i have 15x7 front with 2 inch lips and 15x9 rear with 3 inch lips in the rear ..and mine are 4x100 also good luck finding the centers as they are hard to find..i have a friend here in Houston with them and he wants 400 just for the center caps

these are 16"s but the faces look like 15" wheel faces... are all the faces the same size and just the lips are 15" or 16"?

and yeah i was aware parts were going to be hard to find, but damn $400 for caps is crazy!

i have a staggered set (7.5"/8.5") so i dont think they're fronts... im also pretty sure they are true 5x120 not the 5x120.whatever

...definitely the same style though.

what are they worth refinished?
i see youre not running you caps, got waffled caps you wanna unload?

sidenote: wheels look good BTW, is thats an actual M ? i cant see them clearing M front calipers looking at these wheels that i have.
