I liked the Borbets so much better... are they up for sale or what?

pure dope andre. loven the schmidts, so damn ol skool, and that stretch is so damn euro. form over function?, big deal, it looks tight as hell. some of ya need to learn that not every one aspires to build a track car.

There's nothing wrong with bulding your car to look good over being fast. I thought my eta was just fine for tearing around town.

mmmmmm dish......

Love the Euro look. The Schmidts look bloody good in all the angle shots but a little small in the side shots. I reckon the small centres and undersized tyres make the wheels look like 15s. Some 17s with 215/40/17 rubber would look better and get rid of the fender gap imho.

Height looks nice too, although I'm suprised you still have paint on your M-tech front it's so low 8)

You'll notice if you read my posts that I understand the look Andre is going for. I'm simply trying to get him to try something different in the future because I think it will make his car look even more incredible than it already does.

I like em! much better than the old wheels. I don't like the center cap though. Reminds me of bottlecaps too much. So these are Revolution copies? real multipiece?

What Andre????????

No WRD´s this time ;)


Wich I understand as they are way pricy but the wrd´s are dreams




I totally understand your desire to run wide wheels and I do to,,
Running some "10´s real soon,,
I am not a fan of to stretched rubber as pulling the fenders will allow bigger tires,,
I have on the way "17x10 with 255/40-17´s but have run "17x9,5 with 245/35-17 wich isn´t that stretched,,


I´m with C///M,, running hefty stiff suspension
Bye the way,, your KW has "2 shortened struts and if your tires are close now in the front you may have to run spacers,, Stefán has KW and needs spacers on his 7,5x16´s
Currently ET25 + 15 just to clear the struts springs
What offset are you running on those wheels

ok one thing you and C///M have to understand is that i liv ein NYC where we have the WORST roads in teh world, no other city is worse, i can vouch for that. so i have to leave a bit of softness for some comfort

I LOVE WRD's but they are just way too much money, they would run me over $3600 with tires.

As for these wheels they have a ET of 8 front and back im running 5 mm spacers up front and 3mm spacers in the rear

You know what would help cushion that ride of yours is some oversized, larger diameter, meatier rubber....

andreny - nice car, but imo the borbets look better. wheres the mtech sides and skirts?
questions and comments:
doesnt the wide tires make you lose hp? but its probably just for looks...
ever think about adding the plate filler and is tail or the rubber black tail?
dual exhaust?

i wasnt havn a go at you chris ... or anyone for that matter. its just that sometimes a lot of peeps on e30 forums seem too track oriented. onetrack minds ;)

There was a red E21 w/ an S14 in TotalBMW a few months back that had those rims. They were SICK.

[Jarvis]

I personally don't dig the wheels, sideskirts, or (paint scheme of) the mirrors.

But the car overall still looks great. Go figure.
