i wonder if those are polished or chrome...
PS: diamond racing wheels can be used, you just need studs and the 45deg racing nuts. they will center out. also, if you know the secret to bmw thread pitch and width, then the correct parts are super easy to find.Last edited by golde30; 10-05-2007, 10:37 PM.IG: @Baye30

lookie lookie i gotta cookie!
well not really but look what just came in!
sorry for tha huge pics (damn photobucket)
anyway, these rims are 15x8 ET 0 (same as fartmaxx wheels). they came off a mk1 gti. they are wrapped in 195/50/15 falken ziex512s, soon to be swapped out for 205/50/15 bridgestone re750s. although they are lugcentric, that does not mean that they cannot be used on our e30s; nor does that mean that wheel studs are required (wheel studs with these look hideous btw).
whether you use wheel studs or oem lug bolts, the wheels will center in their bolt holes. the only difference between lugcentric and hubcentric is how the wheel is supported and how the wheel is balanced. lugcentric rims are supported only with lug nuts/bolts while hubcentric rims sit on the hub itself. to balance lugcentric wheels you cannot balance them regularly, you need an adapter to sit in the bolt holes that will then connect to the balancer. ive done tons of research before i purchased these wheels to be sure they are compatible with our car. also, i work at a wheel and tire shop.1991 318is nv m50 : brilliantrot
