N2MYE30? The coupe lives on!

Could someone tell me what kind of wheels those are? Checked in the project thread in your signature, but didn't see... or I'm just blind.

Very respectable daily driver indeed. I Love the wheels

The style of the wheels are the throwing star wheels that came on the e34 M5. Those are a replica made to fit the e30. Cool fact, the real throwing stars are 2 piece. I've seen a few on e30s and they look awesome.

pretty nicely sorted out, dude.

i also really like the wheels, i'd love to have a set for daily use.

Thanks guys for the compliments.

I knew I would get some lip about my lip. Its all good. The PO fubared the front end and looking for new a new valence may not even fit. I did have an "I" lip but a road gator pit it off. Then I got this one. This was about the time it was first discovered that it can work and then was more "acceptable"...but then again so was the ford skirts. Then I got bit again by another gator but the lip didnt move. I couldnt say the same for a fog though. These things are cheap and as long as the fitment in fine and armoralled, i think they look fine. I will rock a "IS" lip some time, just not on the top of the list.

Wheels: AT Italia Type 5 M-Contour replicas. I have done a bit of research on them and correct me if im wrong OG; These where made by a chinese company specifically for the e30s but BMW shut them down for trademark issues. I think that Discount tires once sold these. Yes, they do contour the same direction...i dont care. Its not too often that wheels are made for our cars that have perfect fitment and size.

Cheers!

Looking great man!!

[bernzpeed]

what are those wheels called? I like them.

[dude8383]

looks like TJs old car, love it

werd, exactly what i was thinking. TJ's car was a bit lower

[N2MYE30]

When I first researching these wheels a while back, TJ's cars came up quite often. There are a few other cars that have run these wheels but the sterling silver paint is a great match. I don't remember his suspension specs.

Yeh, these wheels fit well with sterlings :)

I think he had GC's on his car...

Anyway, your car looks amazing :up:

Tirerack sold these too.
Just found a 98' issue of C&D on my bookshelf, they were the main source for these.

Yeah, they have interchangeable wheel covers. You can either have the throwing stars like he has, or turbine covers. The wheel itself looks pretty cool too, a lot of people run them without covers.

They still look damn good! And I don't think many people are going to know that they are facing the wrong direction on one side...
