    A quick pshop with the wheels you are talking about.

    you choose, I personally think they don't look bad, but if there is a quality issue it might be even risky. :(

      to the OP:

      Something you need to consider is the funky, super low offset of e21 wheels. an et35 wheel is going to need like a 25mm spacer to fit. I believe the original offset is like et19.

      Do you like panasports? Konig makes panasport knockoffs for e30s. You might like those. Its definitely more period correct.

        misinformation an et35 with a 25mm spacer ends up a et10 which is way wrong for a e30 but rather a et35 with a 10mm spacer ends up a et25 which is perfect for a e30

            then the spacers need to be hub centric so your wheels does not roll like an egg on the car and convert over to studs with lugs or longer stud blots which ever is needed....

              The original wheels posted look like somethin you would find on a honda. get somethin with a decent offset and tires can be had cheap used, i got my sportmax 16" on the car and wrapped with good tread (pirrelli/falkein) for 500 total. I kinda wish i would have spent 800-900 and got a real wheel like alpinas or bbs but owell, the sportmax's are cheap all around and of decent quality. Im 17 and buying wheels isn't that big a deal as long as you have a job and some resources. Im glad i got wheels before anything else.

                ...and sport max wheels don't look like something you would find on a Honda?
                Oh and suspension comes before wheels...


                To the OP, Kyalamis look bad on e30's imo especially narrow ones with no lip but shit if you like them what the hell does it matter?

                  I apologize for spreading any misinformation, but e21s do not fit wheels the same as e30s.

                  This should help. Its more or less the same info. http://www.bmwe21.net/forum/viewtopi...ghlight=offset

                    at this point in time I don't plan on doing anything with the suspension
