        oo=00=oo's car is what really pushed me over the edge to getting 5 lug.

        PS - new control arms and m3 offset bushings arrived today, they will go on this weekend!!!

            I think the center bore being too large to redrill those wheels means that the new holes, which are closer together 100mm vs. 120mm, would be too close to the center hole. Thus leaving too little metal to properly fasten the wheel to the hub.

                    Ohh, if I had a 5 lug, I would have at least 3 sets of wheels to play with too..


                    Ahh that is what I am working on as we speak... Trying to pick up my 3rd set this week. ;)

                    G... man looking good now. Absolutely perfect. Get the drop hats made as I WANT A SET NOW FOR MINE!! Not that I want to tear apart my struts again anytime soon.


                    :D

                            I love it. I absolutely love those rims on a white E30. I want it.

                                                    They appear to share the same centercap as the ones I'm running.

                                                        Welcome to the land of OEM wheels applenty. :)

                                                        Looks really good. I would do Euro trim, and I would shadowline that car. I dont like shadowline on all cars, but your needs it.

                                                        Also, the e30 m3 master cyl will not bolt on, you will have to change one of the fittings on your steel line. You would be better off going with a 25mm master cyl upgrade.
