New rims ( better than b-caps)

[Eviltwin]

I'm fairly certain the 16" XXR's weigh in about 15-16lbs/wheel
can't go wrong for the cost of those wheels

It'll look super nice when you dump it;)

did you use hubcentric rings?

yes.:nice:

[Jhonno]

the 501s look way better then b-caps, but you have to lower it to make them look right. Suspension should've come first. :tsk:

+1

[Mako18]

deff better then the caps man. I agree with the suspension coming first.

16 x 7 SSR comps weigh in about 10.8 lbs IIRC from my set.

and the 501's?

[kamotors]

should of got some kopi's

[Hodge]

Definitely need a drop...but they will look nice once you do that (ASAP)

[bimmer_E30]

my e30 will be lowered next week :::::))))

and the 501's?

Someone just said 16 lbs a few posts up from you. So six pounds of rotating AND unsprung weight PER CORNER?


Yeah...

and the 501's?

No idea.

But its not like if this is your street/occasional auto-x/HPDE car its going to matter or you could tell anyway.

My 17 x 8 Works with taller lower profile tires probably weigh 7-9lbs more a corner. Can't tell a difference on the street, except turn-in is a hair sharper because there is less sidewall now.

I can tell a big difference between my track wheels/tires and street wheels/tires, and it's probably only a ~5 lb difference (mostly in the tires). it doesn't matter on the street of course (that's why I have track wheels), but 7-9lbs is a pretty big difference. Not that I wouldn't mind a set of 17x8 works for the street. :p

[z31maniac]

Yeah, that's why I said for the street and occasional guys. I originally bought the Works as an STX wheel to run 235/40s on, but decided I'm going to do to my car what I wish instead of building it for a particular class, as the E30 isn't really going to be competitive past a local/regional level anyway, and I just want to have fun, not win. So I'm just going to stick with 215/40s on the Works and space them out abit.

I plan on buying another set of wheels for track wheels, hopefully next year, in 15/16 x 8and running a 225/50 or 225/45 or similar sized tire for HPDEs.

[Fidhle007]

Even on the street there's a huge difference between my 16 lb BBS daily wheels and my 11 lb fun wheels.

[Coco Savage]

right but for the street like people have mentioned it really dont matter.. ;)
