Beautiful car, when you get some more tire it'll be perfect!
Are the Klutch wheels 57.1 or require rings, i can't find specs?

They're not 57.1 and they do require hub rings. I believe the hub bore is 73.1 but I'm not 100% sure on that. There's all the specs about their wheels on their website. Klutchrepublik.com

Those diving boards need to be stock and itd be perfect.

VERY clean. I think it looks perfect the way it is. One of the few instances where chrome trim looks very fitting.


Did I read that right? 165/45's? Or is that a typo?

Haha no, you read that right. They were waaaaaayyyy too stretched for an e30. Didnt choose the tire size, i bought the wheels with pretty beat tires with intentions of buying new ones this season, but someone wanted to trade me same wheels with brand new 195-45s so i couldnt turn that down.

Why do you keep going with such short tires? Something closer to 23" overall height would look immensely better and still keep with the look you're going for.

I was planning on staggering the tires with 195-45s in the front and 195-50s in the rear, but while my tires were up fs/ft someone offered me the same wheels i had with brand new 195-45s all around for my shot 165-45s so i really couldnt pass up the deal. Im still looking for 16s but i really do love the look of 15s

euro bumpers would make this car, but they will never fit rite with the late model front valance. still clean though.

One of my all time favorites! I love the color

This car looks excellent. I love it when US Style bumpers are embraced on European cars for the classy aspects.

I'm doing something similar with my other car, an old Burgundy (classy much? :D) Peugeot sedan that has the diving board style bumpers, similar to the old e28 and e30s.

Definitely an acquired taste IMO, the plastics are really easy to like, but the early model style is a little deeper, and then comes the DB's.

Very well executed car.

love how hyped up people get on r3v, Its a super clean car, and op, you are doing a great job.

a clean car will always look fantastic, no matter what, plastic, chrome, diving board, or painted euro bumpers.

that said, i love how clean you're doing things.

[regnu]

Not bad for a parts car. ;) I like it.

[bataangpinoy]

its clean, can't say that i like these wheels so much though.

[bmwandhonda]

Love it, looks extremely classy.
