    But today I bought and sold some wheels. I sold my BBS RM wheels because they were in bad shape. I made $100 on them and got the VW Teardrops thrown in (they have good tires on them too). My BBS RM's were in really really really bad shape.



    I also bought these wheels. Specs:
    - 15"x7"
    - 4x100pattern
    - 28et
    - 195/60R15 tires









    Looks odd on the car? Whats the deal?


    I swear they're angled all funky. Would it be positive camber if the top of the tire is out further than the bottom or something?

    Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

      Look like they may be Hartge or Hartge reps.

      By the way, way to make me eat my words :P

        Why do the Hartge Reps looks so odd on my car? I swear they don't fit right? I'm not talking about the height of my car either cause I know it needs lowered but I only have rear shocks and springs (bilstein and Eibachs).

          You know full well that it's impossible for wheels to change the geometry of your suspension unless they're bent :P

          It just looks weird because those tires are undersized for them and your rear is riding super high. I guarantee that your BBS's would look just as ridiculous with that much wheel gap.

          Are you sure they're reps? No markers of any kind?

            Yeah they're made by Dotz I think?...I wanted to play like I had the real deal at first :P I can't find these anywhere on the internet though?

            Should I put BMW roundels in the center of the wheels? Would it be lame to put Hartge logo's? I kinda know the answer to that one already.

                I use my "magic wand" to "pay" for all these wheels ;)

                    Oh.....:( well what kind of forum is this? I'm used to e30tech and that's what they're all about over there.

                      I'm really just jealous is all. The only thing my magic wand has done is cost me money, it has never bought me anything.

                          I called those VW wheels Pslots but now I don't think they're. They Pslots really look like "P"s. What are the ones I have called?

                            I thought they were just called Teardrops

                              There we go, Teardrops, I'd forgotten.
