    Hey man, could we get a few detailed shots up close of the sides and front of your wheels/tires? I have the exact same size rim, and those are the tires I'm getting, and I want to see how they look. What size tire are you running?

          Type Cs look great on E30s. Especially in 16.


          Good stuff.

            Thanks again boys for the compliments, its much appreciated.

            Andy, wait till you see em in person, the pics dont really do em justice, they flow so nice with the car.

            I have noticed one issue. The fitment was real tight when I put em on, like maybe 1mm of clearance between the strut tower and the wheel. I took the car for a real hard drive afterwards to experience the new rubber and had no rubbing issues. However, today when I was backing out of my parking spot at work I had the wheel cranked all the way to the left and sure enough they rubbed. Put it in 1st and went back into the spot, no rubbing. Is this normal? I would think it would rub in either direction. Anyways its not a big deal as they came with spacers, I was just hoping to run them without.

              are you sure they aren't just rubbing on your fender liners?

                  Turn the wheel full lock and get out and see if it's rubbing the liner.

                      Checked the wheels this morning and its not rubbing the fender liners but the tire is just barely touching the struts. No big deal as they came with spacers anyway.

                        Yay, spacers! It's really not so bad, I actually like the wider stance the spacers gave my car.

                            One of my favorite wheels to ever put on an e30.

                            "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                              would look better with the REAL suspension your car had before...i dont really understand everyone's fascination with these cheap, heavy-ish borbets. clean ass car though, wish mine had like 80k miles or whatever...it's not too bad at 130k though, im happy enough
