Basset 15x10 wide 5's

[JoeyBones]

where did you get the 4x100 adapter for the wide 5's?

They made them themselves. Was earlier in the thread like page 6 or so.

I have followed this project from the start over on the tech, I love what you guys have done. You are doing club motorsport right! Build your own shit, run it all on a shoestring budget and have a ton of fun beating the guys spending many more dollars.

Its the philosophy I run on. In it for myself, if I'm beating people it's a bonus. Keep up the great work guys. Goodluck for 2010.

Really loved the intro to the video, that was great. Good little video of the few years work.

Thanks man, That's the best formula to race on ^, Build it cheap, and beat the bigger guys.

We're really working hard to get the car back together for the 2010 challenge.

Damn, thats sick! And I cant believe you guys are local! I've only seen 2 other e30s in over a year!

One of the coolest threads i've seen! keep it up and post more pics!!

[JoeyBones]

I know you've run them already multiple times but there is always room to improve safety. For the adapters on the wheels, you may want to safety wire the wide 5 portion to ensure no backing out of the bolts. May be overkill, but again..safety!
