A couple updated pictures of my car...notice any changes

[egk2]

Very nice car, fender looks a little wavy though, have any pics of the final product?

[Nick325is]

I will get some pics of the final product when I finish up the other one next weekend.
The fender rolling tool belongs to one of my buddies in the car club.

How did you get the flat bit pulled out like that?

I ran a roller over mine with alot of pressure and couldn't get the flat bit to budge at all.

Thanks,

I just applied alot of pressure and spent about 6 hours on that one, probably more.
Nick

6hrs!!! OuCh!! I'll give it another go then.......thanks!

Your E30 looks great, keep up the good work :)

[Nick325is]

Thanks for the compliments!

Wow, car looks nice.

What are the dimensions on the wheels/tires? I am looking to get into an E30 soon, and have a fender roller and some moderately wide wheels already. Just tryin to figure out where they might line up with the fenders once I pull them:

Mine are 16x8.5 with a 2" lip right now. Just wondering if I should fit a 2.5" lip to get a 9 under there instead.....

[Nick325is]

The wheels that are on there are 17x7.5 et20 with 215/40 tires on there. I am going to go with either an 8 or 9 inch wheel in the very near future.
Want to sell me your wheels or perhaps trade? :D


Nick

[blubayou]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no. I do like yours though. I am just a fan of the modular wheels cause I can change widths and offsets when needed and I am more of a 16" wheel kinda guy. Mine are 16x8.5 et 20 right now

[Nick325is]

I am looking for a set of 16s. Where did you get yours from?



Nick

[che13]

the car looks great and the fender rolling looks pretty dope

I got the wheels from ebay in kinda rough shape, then sourced new wider lips and stainless steel bolts for them. I stripped and polished the new 2" lips, so they look much better than they did when I first got em, too. It is a time consuming thing, but the results are always worth it. I have refinished probably near a dozen sets of BBS wheels in the past couple of years. I run em for a bit then sell em, but these won't be going away any time soon.

I do come across the 4x100 16" BBS RS (model RS003) every so often, and they are an E30 fit. Wider lips for those are only a phonecall away, since there is a company that makes replacements for them in any 1/2" width. I can keep an eye out for some if you are interested. This was my last set on my old supercharged coupe:

I want those rims soooo bad, I would trade my $3200 Volk TE37s for those in a heartbeat.

[e30sd]

if you paid 3200 for te37's you got hosed.

[M42Technik]

I'll trade you my BBSRS003's for your BBS RF's. Mine are just refinished.

T.J. is going to chime in...

Also, I saw your FS auction for those on VWVortex a long time ago. I love Jetta Coupe's too. I do love RF's too....damn thats a nice car. I thought you had a house to buy or something? And how much would it cost to go from 16x7" to 16x8"? And what offset would that be?

[B2ThaZiZza]

$3200 for the wheels and tires and hubcentric spacers. I didnt pay that much but thats how much they are worth refinished and powdercoated with new volk racing logos and such.
