What or where did you find centre caps to work with the transam wheels? i havent been able to find anything other than the factory caps

[Staszek]

We both have great taste! Iv'e been watching your thread and it is great to see you car coming together. for the home stretch. Your wheels look awesome and will be a nice touch when you wrap everything up.

Thanks, finally starting to feel like I am out from under it! The engine will go in next week. I will be posting pics soon of the engine build.

Yea I agree, I think we both did the same thing when modeling our wheels! I love those.

This Mtech II car had a 5 lug swap and M3 Evo 16in Weaves. I saw it when I stopped by Guten a few years ago. They looked awesome.

They did for the M3 in 5 lug. Or you can get the Style 5's from the E38 which are close.

Do 16in weaves exsist? Or something that looks OEM?

There are a few options for 5x120, but not many at 4x100 for a 16in style weave. RS003s and Borbet Bs are the only ones in 4x100 I can think of, all the others are 15s.

When I rebuilt my RS003s, my colors/finishes were designed around OEM Nogaro Silver Euro Weaves.

Wheel/Tire/Suspension
BBS RS003s - 16x7 ET25
Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs 225/45R16s
H&R Sports, Bilstein Sports, E90 Drop Hats, M3 Offset CABs

Borbet B are 16 inch weaves. The 7.5 inch wide ones painted all silver could nearly pass for an OEM wheel.

Easily, it depends on offset and tire size though. I am running 225/45R16 et23 with no roll and they fit perfect.

^what he said. 16" wheels are the go-to size on an e30 IMHO. Stock was 14". 15 inch is a bit of a "that's nice, but doesn't look that nice" - 16" wheels look good on an e30. To pull of 17" wheels you really need some aggressive stance or body work. 18" wheels, well, maybe on a m3 - but even then. Above that it starts to look like donk status unless you really have your car dialed in, and then, a spare tire donut would looks good on a car like that

Forgive the ignorance, but are 16s doable without modding?

Nice, what tire size(s)?

Dunlop Sport Maxx 205/55R16 & 225/50R16. Handle well wet and dry.

TBH they are a bit big and next time will go Yokohama or Toyo in 205/50 &225/45 as they the only ones can get in those sizes
