Show me your Esm wheels

[P Arkus]

I think it also depends on the sidewall height of the tire as well.If you run a 30 to 40 sidewall height and hit a pothole,well good luck with bending,breaking wheels and blowing out tires. I have never ran anything less than 50 series sidewall height with legit wheels or rep's and have never had an issue's with blowout's or wheels breaking apart for the last 14 years now.

This is very true!

The wheels are 16x8 on 185/55 and 16x9 on 205/50. I went for a meaty stretch since the car is a stock M20 with auto tranny (dont really feel I need to put too much rubber on the ground). Fenders are rolled front and back but I still get a bit of rubbing in the back around bumpy turns. I believe thats due to my old worn suspension. will be getting GC Coilovers soon to hopefully fix the problem.

HRE:

but this thread.. :popcorn:

I've owned nothing but replica wheels my whole life and have never broken a set. If you know how to drive and avoid potholes, you'll be fine with reps. Again all depending on the circumstances, but I fully agree that for a DD, reps are fine. Unless you wanna be baller and spend the cash for the real thing.

For the OP, here's a set of staggered ESM002R's on my E30.

Thanks for taking the post seriously and not hating on the fact that I can't afford real bbs at 17... Where'd you get the center caps? Those look great

Center caps are just black carbon BMW stickers off Ebay. Just measure the size you need once you get the wheels and order away. I think mine are 66mm but cant remember exactly. The waffle is still the ESM replica one that screws on ;)
