    Wheel decisions...

    So the wheel repair shop says two of my stock baskets are r3ved. I'm looking for something that looks good but they need to be inexpensive. I'm trying to get some good rubber to ride on for the next year, at least.

    So, I'm considering either some used basket replacements or something a little different. I love 5 star wheels on E30s, and the T-star reps are just way out of my league in more than one way.

    What do you guys think of the OZs I p-shopped on the 'is'? 16x7.5 for about $150. With a good 10mm spacer they'll be a 22 offset. I gotta do something soon.

              More info and pictures on those OZ wheels, they look good.

              You can always pick up two basketweaves off someone here, I'm sure you can get them awful cheap. Try painting/refinishing them yourself, I'm sure it would cost alot less and look just as good.

                    Somehow I knew you would say exactly that.

                    No worries though, I picked up a set of spare weaves (from spare tire compartments!! complete with factory weights!) with new tires for hella cheap. I'll upgrade to something sweet when these tires go since I've already spent 4 grand on everything else.

                      Put on bottlecaps until you can find a decent set of wheels.
