'91 318is, 16V swap.

I honestly think you can pull those Viennas off, just not sure how. Somehow I feel they would look right on an e30.

plus one

Thanks guys. I think I can too, I just need to see them mounted up there. I just wish I could run some slim tires on these, but they're already pretty skinny and I need some meat on the tires. Oh well, only a test fit will see! Hoping somebody can do a chop though.

Also, they have 4x114.3 stamped on the back, but they were most definitely 5 lug...

Is this a build thread or a discussion on how your wheels will look on your non running car?

[FunfGan]

Do build threads normally include running cars? I feel like thats the whole point.

Exactly, 3 times the displacement but same number of valves. And I haven't! Thanks!

A lot of wheel companies do this, they are too cheap/lazy to make another wheel mold so it will have some random bolt pattern stamped into the mold when really it's something different. (The bolt pattern is machined in later.)

I can't remember if it was Gram Lights or Enkei that did this but a lot of their wheels have "5x100" on it when they were actually 5x114.3 for STi/Evos/etc.

Weird... I would assume a company charging $500+ for each wheel would pay more attention to detail, but maybe not. Good to know!

cant remember if you mentioned b4 but are you planning on running ps? Ill be picking up an e36 m3 rack and draining/capping it doesnt sound like the greatest idea.

No I'm not, I'm going to have to pick up a "custom" belt to run. And I'm capping /draining my steering rack but I don't know what the m3 one is like when thats done. If you need any help running it pm me, I can help you out.

theres a kit that is linked on one of the e30tech 5.0 builds for the a/c ps delete kit. Im gonna go today to pick and pull to check out and posibly pull the p/s pump on a mountaineer. may pull the gt-40s if i feal up to it to.

No real updates, ordering stud conversion kit and tires soon, after I pick up the rest of the drivetrain parts this coming month. Also, found some pics of the car before I had it, think I cleaned it up a bit haha.

Stud conversion kit and tires for a car that doesn't run? makes sense

I know :) Why buys parts for a project?
