It looks like shit. That green is for Rotas on 240s. E30s need wheels with lip, especially euro bumper'd E30s... It's just overall hard to look at with stretched tires and being so high... Makes me :'( I think if they were a different color and fit better it might look ok.

Originally posted by 87e30 View PostDude, I don't mean to hate but your fitment just isn't good enough (a little less offset and a bit more low) to pull these off...
Your old wheels looked so good (esms), why the change?!
Like I mentioned earlier I got these rather "conservative" adapters to get a ballpark figure of what I need to get to make things flush. I have never seen this done on an E30 before so i had nothing to gauge from. More low will happen but it will be MMs not inches.
I had been wanting to try these out for a while and I didn't want to get too bored of the ESMs.
Originally posted by MR 325 View PostNO, don't poke them out further. It will look like a Mexi-mobile.
The color is AWESOME. The fit is good. What size tires?
It wont be extreme poke I just want similar fitment as I had with my ESMs. I was at ET-2 in the rear and I was rather pleased. They are 215/40 all around on 8.5 and 9.5.
Originally posted by 325ix View PostLove the color! However, a white or maybe a gold would look good. They remind me of M Systems.
Originally posted by Ryann View PostI like it- I'd like it more if the wheels were gunmetal. Somehow it seems like it either needs a rear valence or to loose the skirts, which wasn't the case with the ESM's imo.
Ya I do agree its a little funky with just the skirts. I got them in a trade with Curt so I wasn't even planning on putting skirts on this car it just sort of happened. I will be getting the rest of the kit now but I need to finish my other 24V car first.
Originally posted by M-technik-3 View PostI like, not feeling the green so much but looks good.
I also like this Cooper on them.

Haha its okay man I knew there would be a little of this too. Its really the offset and angle that make it look so high though. I will be going just a little lower to even things out but I had to buy a new set of jacks just to lift this car up and its still a PITA. The color will probably be addressed next week and the fitment will in a few weeks.
