E30+BBS+Fall pictures=PLAYED?

[bigredguy]

Ive lurked around here for a while and posted my car up a few times. I am finally pretty happy with the way my car looks on its third set of wheels within the past year. 2 sets of Klutch Republik SL1s and now I am finally almost happy with the fitment.

The wheels are BBS RMs.
15x8.5 et7 up front
15x9.5 et-5 in the rear

Over winter I have some fairly large plans for the car, some of which includes new motor mounts, 3/8 inch of an engine raise, new front suspension setup and going lower in the front between 0.5-1 inch. There are some other things I intend on getting done but Ill leave that to be found out later.

Comments are always welcome. Enjoy.

very nice Saloon!..

thanks guys. I wasnt too keen on the 4 door look, but it has really grown and I think I might even prefer it over the look of the two door now.

very nice. neat color combo.

[bigredguy]

thanks I appreciate it. Thinking about full chrome/polish or even copper plated. All depends on how much spending money I have over winter as I am paying for school and living right now too.

Man... I want your wheels...

Ive had thoughts about trading them. They just fit so well in my opinion that I really dont know if I can bring myself to it. The only wheels I think I would think about that I really dig are Schmidt TH lines with similar specs, maybe in 16s though. Ive posted feelers to see what kinds of trades are out there and didnt get anything that I remotely liked.

Love the color but not a fan of the poke and reverse rake. Other than that it is good looking.

I have been checking the junkyard around me every time Im home from school, and they very rarely have e30s. But that is on the list of things to do.

I dont think so man. Not a huge fan of 5 spokes unless its a set of BBS RFs. Just curious though because your car looks great man, what are the offsets of them?

I would love to add another degree or so of negative camber to reduce the poke, but dropping the whole subframe for the weld on tabs is definitely not worth it in my opinion. And actually the car sits 100% level, it just appears to have rake because of the small wheel gap in the front. That will be taken care of this winter when I lower the front

Currently they're 16x8.5 et9 front with 15mm spacers and 16x9 et8 rear with 10mm spacers.

Looks clean, not crazy on the poke either but to each is own. Enjoy it!

The fitment looks god man. Like I said I am not a huge fan of 5 spokes so I would have to turn down the offer. Also the specs are a little conservative for me.

I was at a huge debate with myself with going with a 9 or a 9.5 in the rear, and the 9 just seemed not aggressive enough for my taste. After the test fit I was hoping that the camber set in a little more (I couldnt lower it all the way during the test fit). Like I said before I would love to add a little more camber to make the lip sit more flush, but I already have a large list of things to do this winter and I dont think my budget will allow for the adjustable tabs. Plus It seems like dropping the entire subframe for something that minor would be a little extreme, but that is just my opinion
