    can you say deep dish?

    I'm thinking about picking these wheels up.. what you guys think? they are 15x7 but with 4" of lip... I would need hubcentric spacers to make them clear my brakes but I think they would look tits on an e30..

    4'' of lip and you're going to need spacers as well, on a 7'' wheel?
    That's like like -10000000 offset. It's going to be the definition of mexi-poke.

        hahaha ahhhh i was thinking thisss... but i think I'd need about a 10 mil spacer which wouldn't be too bad.. I know the 4" is a lot... I'm going to school at wyotech for autobody thoo so maybe some extreme pulling/rolling or even custom fenders could be made... idk. I think I'd be able to get the rims for about $200 so I'm not sure I want to pass them up when I'm quite the fan of deep dish..

            Not sure why you'd put wheels in quotes, but alright.

                    Do the e30 right and sell it to someone who cares about it looking proper. Then buy a Honda or some other vag car and rice it up baby!

                          4 inches of lip does not always mean 3 inches of backspacing. I'd be suprised if the offset was anywhere near -25. Probably a low offset with a convex face to exaggerate lip

                              I am yet to see them in person but I think you are right.
