15 inches - 16 inches - 17 inches - 318iSlow 3 ways

[DEV0 E30]

Devo - Yes indeed. I have always had a 5mm spacer upfront to clear the caliper as you've already figured out from Fred. I actually got the wheels for less than $100 too 8-)

Awesome. Mesh wheels for life.

[uofom3]

i love this car.

[BMDub]

Those style 5's seem like they have a bigger lip than usual.
BTW car looks amazing especially with the 5's

[E30trash]

jesus, your title under your name should be the "Mesh Whore"

[Il Duce]

so hot!

[Widm3r]

Such a clean car... i cant wait till i get the spare cash to overhaul my suspension...

[Mystikal]

Yeah, hold up. Are those E28 M5 wheels, or the 16" from the E39 528s?

I know the wheel whore already cleared it up, but 528's never came with 16's. 15" non-sport, 17" sport.

No 16" BBS-style wheel was ever made in E39 fitment. They're all direct fitment to other 5x120 hubs.

Ya and now you put in ur 2 cents. You just had to add something didn't you, couldn't have a wheel thread without ur input.

lol :D


Those are e30m3 fronts right?
Wheel did look a little closer to the back, but could have been the angle.

Ahhh. You're right, Diego's comment threw me.

I should know that.

[!RocknE30!]

The uber-lipped out wheels look sick but that is way, way too much tire for a 318. MY car is slow as hell on 15"s (I've got some 14" track rat wheels on it right now thanks to Devo and it feels so much better) so I cant even imagine what 17"s would be like :D

It's still hot as hell though!

[Jand3rson]

16" weaves FTW. Those are the best looking rims I've seen on your car yet, Eric (sp?). The style 5's are cool, but too damn big. 16's are the perfect size wheel for E30's. I've always wanted a set of 16" weaves. You should have the centers painted/powdercoated Nogaro silver to look like Sport Evo weaves.

[e9nine]

Correct - entire e30m3 suspension

They have a bigger lip in the rear as they are 17 x 9

Too much tire? Never! Grippity grip for me!!! If I could afford it - I would run 16 x 8 Koseis on the other e30 (no lie) !! :D If there were such a thing as a lightweight and affordable 17" wheel I'd be all over it as well.

Yeah - seems to be the consensus on the 16 inchers being the perfect fit for e30s overall. I like them all as you can obviously tell.

Josh - As to painting nogaro - it's just a coincidence that these popped up cheap a while ago and timing was right to get some tires. I haven't spent money on aesthetics in a long while. Maintenance alone is enough of an issue for 2 e30s

Widm3r - THanks to the magic of the camera the car looks good. It's almost a turd in person. It's my turd though so paws off!!

[CleanAzzE30z]

Jesus those fucking 16s look better than so many rims that are so much more expensive.

Trust me bro, I understand. I drop enough green on just my one!
