    The wheels are 4x114.3 with 15mm 4x100 adapters. After the adapters i think my offset is -35. And yes, the headlights are depo. Running a 35w 4.3k Morimoto H1 HID kit from TRS. The output is actually decent. Much better than sealed-beams but nowhere close to a real full-size HID projector. I plan on retrofitting a pair of FX-R projectors soon..after suspension and 5-spd swap.

    Thanks, Pete!

              I'm gonna keep 'em black and paint the 'BMW' logo white. I think paint-matched all white would be a little much for me. Might not keep them on all the time either.

                  I like how your car is coming along! I haven't seen it since the last local meet. When are you going to change out the "light weight" oil cap? :)

                    Well thank you, sir. Oil cap will be replaced as soon as you sell me one. ;)
                    Need one for a late model coolant expansion tank as well.

                          yeah busted oil cap looks odd. Works fine though..


                          And thanks, man. I dig the epsilons too...just wish they were a little wider. Looked into re-barreling and it'll cost a grand to do so.

                            Awesome. I really like the wheels and rear spoiler.

                            Excited to see where this build goes.

                                Thanks guys. Progress is slow at the moment. Put the E30 away for the winter. Once the sun comes back i'll be swapping out the suspension, along with some other goodies..

                                Found some Epsilon caps on StanceWorks for a killer price. Picked them up in person since the dude was close by. I really thought i'd never find a set, let alone a set in such good condition for such a sweet price. Two have a wood-grain looking center and the other two are the more common black. Kinda wish they all had the grain but i'll take what i can get...these things are super rare!
