    Do mini cooper wheels fit an e30?

    Those minilites might look okay - im sure someone has done it. Any pics? Offset issues?

    The offset is too high, and the centerbore is too small. Custom built spacers could make it happen.

      Did someone say custom built spacers?...

      Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
      Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
      Lobsterbacks attack the town again
      Wrap all my things in aluminum
      Beams of darkness streak across the sky
      Pink rays from the ancient satellite
      Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
      Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

          Or spacers and a competent machine shop. The could enlarge the centerbore.

            Eh - i've never been a fan of spacers. I'm having a hard time finding some classy wheels for my girlfriends e30. Any ideas?

              Eurospeed - what wheels are those that you have? Her's is a black late model as well. Those are clean.
