opened-top cars are banned by most bmw clubs and others, and that should be no car to really learn on. how expensive is it to run? how expensive to replace? do you even know what DEs are?

edit: if it is an open-wheel car many tracks do not allow them on at the same time as Closed-Wheels. (Watkins Glen for instance.) http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=14936 - you're eliminate many options with such a car to go out and track

ideal DE car is reliable, dependable, easily replaceable, cheap to buy, cheaper to maintain, cheap consumables/cheap tires, moderate horsepower, sufficient brakes, LSD is excellent, RWD more fun, well holding seats, decent gas mileage, good aftermarket support... e30 satsifies those things.

a civic with a b16a and lsd, and some recaro ITR seats are all that minus being RWD. 240 great car as well. MR2 hardtop. Integra. RX-7... awesome choices for HPDEs..

and so are team dynamic wheels, for all of them!

heritage or not, they aren't being made anymore, so running where they have a strong potential to eventually be ruined doesn't make sense and was a shitty suggestion.

right, so by your logic, it would make no sense to use an e30 as a track car. you know, being that it is essentially NLA and could potentially be ruined in the process.

can we please just leave this stupid argument at 'heeter doesnt like BBS RSs, therefore, in his world, they make a waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesish (jus fo sam ;) ) track wheel'

[rwh11385]

e30 shells are fucking abound. hell, there are like 5-10 for sale right now on this forum at least. easily replaceable. the e30 is very common, as are parts and engines. are there 2 million sets of RS's in the world?

if e30s were a rarity, like a clean 2002tii, i probably wouldn't track em. screw it, buy a common plain bmw and use that. instead of RS's, find a replaceable wheel.

Booya!

[Streetspec_iS]

e30 shells are fucking abound.

right ... just like BBS are in my part of the world. and lip sections even more so. just like e30 M3s aren't over here.

stop being narrow minded dude. just cos they arent abundant in america doesnt mean the rest of the world shares the same problem. your argument is waning.

ok, yes it makes more sense to choose a wheel that is readily available off the shelf. yes, tire rack is around the corner from you and can get you a wheel in a day. i dont have that luxury, so for lots of people here (and japan, and europe), 3 piece, easily repairable wheels make sense for track cars. I'm sorry you refuse to see that.

another thread down the drain, congrats heeter. you're such a little bitch, get over yourself.

Doesn't help when you've never had the need for a passport.

score

like 99% of this board is in North America, and Ray wants to suggest BBS RS's would make good track wheels when only .001% of the board would have access to what you've been basing your argument on. super.

[Streetspec_iS]

like 99% of this board is in North America.

haha, thats not my problem. im going to get a pic of me in a sea of RSs, just to make you happy..

Sam and i have the bills, means and ways to use RS as track rims. We're happy.

[rwh11385]

that works for you, but is nonsense for anyone here to do it. what ray said just isn't true here.

[SLEEPERracer]

love the rims!!!

[Streetspec_iS]

that works for you, but is nonsense for anyone here to do it. what ray said just isn't true here.

and what you say isn't true here. end of story then.

[mk-ultra]

Go away. No, seriously, keep running off your mouth, and be perma-banned again, then everyone will REALLY be talking about you, just like you want.

I can't wait to have my RS' style wheels on 205's.

EDIT:

And yes, with the style you're going with, you gotta be slammed. I did a quick Photoshop for you...start saving for a ub4rstif Ground Control setup!

nice work it looks great...maybe i'll sell one wheel and get some GC coilovers :) no seriously, i have other priorities for the moment...like i need a new front valance mine is all screwed up, you can see it in the pics
