Semi-gloss all the way

That was my thought too. I want it a little shiny but not full on gloss.

[Staszek]

Here we go! The faces are now filled by Ehrlich (Paul) and on their way to get refinished in Nogaro.

Cant wait to get these things in so I can work on my brakes!

Yea it will be ready by then, I was hoping ready by the one in Vernon Hills in Sept but I dont think I will make it.

[IronJoe]

Nice!

The wheels are in the final stages.

[Staszek]

Wheels done and on the way, I ordered a spacer test kit but I think I will be running 8mm front and rear to get me at et21 all around.

Wheels look awesome!

What are the specs on the wheels 16x??? Mine are 16x7 et25. I also have 225/45R16, but I don't have spacers. Max spacer I could run is 5mm for an ET20. I think if you 16x8 you might need to roll the fenders at a 16x8 ET21 and those tires.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous wheels!! Can't wait to see them installed.

16x8 225/45r16.

Jordan ran them on his car et20 with no roll. Same wheels and tires.

square setup? 8s on the front hmm.
wheels are absolute perfection btw. hope to see them around this summer

fwiw I run an alpina staggered setup, 16x7 front 205/50-16 16x8 rear 225/45-16, both ET28. no rolls

Alpina E30 fitment front and rear (from German KBA doc)

Amazing thread, I just found it today and went through it over the course of 4-5 hours.

Great work!

Yep square. According to Paul they are ET29. I will keep testing till they sit perfect. I want flush but doesn't have to be crazy, and no poke.

Nice! I thought the rears might fit, but didn't know the fronts would at 16x8 ET21 without a roll.

I wanted to go to 16x7.5 front and 16x8 rear or 8s all around, but after spending a decent amount of cash on the RS003s and the lips were immaculate I couldn't justify how much new lips would cost.

I like where your head is at. I bet it will look awesome! Can't wait to see them mounted. Red/Gold caps + Alpine white also a nice choice!

I've been on the fence about running a 5mm spacer on the rear to get a little more flush as well, I am happy with how the fronts sit at this point.

Yea I was on the fence on the caps, but I have a red wilwood BBk and my interior has red stitching so I think it will go with the theme. I wish they were red and silver, I may look to see if I can get those later.
