New to R3V but not to e30s

[Simon S]

Nice!
Always had a soft spot for a coupe ix w/ manual - don't seem to see those every day..

Welcome to r3v

[elmercc]

Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the car!

Went outside (20 degrees) determined to see how it would a snowflake look on the e30. After scraping the inside of a $280 wheel with the caliper, this is what it looks like with a 10MM spacer.



What do you think, sticks out too much, I can try and find some 5MM.

[Blendercloud]

Sticks out just a little too much. From the side those wheels look incredible though!

I think even with a 5mm spacer still going to stick out a bit!
I may end up selling these separate from the GLI!

Not sure about those wheels. But I would say the car would need to be lowered before making a fair assumption.

That is true!

After scraping the inside of a $280 wheel with the caliper......

Is that supposed to be a lot?

[88e30ix]

Yeah! $1100 just on wheels when there is a budget to stick by, that is alot!

Some one doesn't know what it is like to ball on a budget :rofl: :roll:

Hey J.,
Do you like how it looks? The wheel that I used is the one with the oversized tire, so that makes it look to stickeout more. If I had used one of the streched ones I think it will look nice.

I need to sell the GLI soon to build my budget back up. I need those GC coilovers!

Seriously? You may have owned 2 e30's before but you obviously never learned good taste or common sense.

The tire you have on there is already short enough for your car, going any shorter/stretched will just make you have gobs more wheel gap then you already have.
Plus being an ix its never ever really going to be low just compounding your tire size problem even more.

Buddy! Relax!

You obviously did not read my introduction on the 1st page, I said I was going to try to FIT these wheels. It does not say I will run these wheels! 15years ago internet was barely going, not many things available for many cars. Were you even driving any car. :yawn:
