    ok, so I'm getting the feeling you guys don't like the wheels.....?


    I will go throw them off one of the skyscrapers downtown today.

      I agree with TJ on this one. Only a few 17s look good on e30s.... but the car has to be lowered for that.

        Why can't they ever be found again? Where did YOU find them.. (and yes, very cruel) It can't get any better than that IMO... are they replicas?
        I sold them last summer, and the guy fell of the face of the Earth. Sorry man.

          You should put 26's on there with that suspension.

          I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

            I like my style (obviously). I think that the BBS large weaves are cool, RKs too. I like the superlegarra and turismos as well. I don't mind your rims, but they aren't my style.... that said who cares? If you like em, rock em... just be ready to get opinions.

              I don't think they look great however I didn't really think they were as horrible/JDM/ricer as some of you state. Then again, I don't quite have all the insight most of you have. I appreciate all the input. Secondly, I didn't really have much of a choice when getting them (car was sitting on the ground, wheels were stolen, friend sold me these w/tires for cheap) I do agree the car needs to be lowered. I am taking them off and selling asap. With the money going to buy the H&R/Bilstein package :D.

              What do you guys think about ADR Wheels? specifically the below ones..

                  What looks good.

                  If you like them, go with it. Asking for opinions here is like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hydrant. One thing about 17's though. Go softer on the springs as the sidewalls are stiffer. Like those Nascar guys change the spring rate with a few pounds of air. I have 350 front and 450 rear with 17's. It's too stiff for anything but the track or autox. I'm going to 275 and 350 for comfort. It'll still be stiff as the springs will still be stiffer than stock and it will still be on 17's. 17's are the right size for an E30 in my opinion. 14's and 15's look dated.

                    You happen to know what the rates are on the springs that come with TMS' package are?

                      If you're talking about the J-Stocks, forget about it.... it's 600/1200 or something in that area.

                      17s make your brakes look stupid.
