[nando]

Because they are available in 4x100 ET 20.

doh

anyway at 23lbs I wouldn't personally be interested in them - that's 2x the weight of my current wheels. :(

[z31maniac]

Yeah, that's insanely heavy. My 17x8 Works were ~17lbs and 17x7.5 SSRs were 14lb.

were have been running this set up on our Condor Speed Shop GRM challenge car for about three years now.

No cutting here. Just a slight roll..



But seriously. Thats a 16x10 with a 215/45. And a 6 inch back spacing which is as much as you can go on a e30 in the rear. So it works out to be 16x10 et +12 I believe. If you wanted to run this same setup in the front you will need a 10mm spacer if not a little bigger to clear the strut housing.
Just trying to give you a idea of what a 10 looks like on a e30. Here is the front with a spacer and camber set all the way in.

this is dumbest looking thing I have ever seen in my life

You know, they aren't even that bad looking.

What's the weight and price on these?

So, bringing this back from the dead. Did anybody figure out what 15X10 can run on E30? Options, pricing? I hear REAL wheels are good, but can't find any pricing info. Plus these above look pretty decent if they don't weigh a ton!

I've also been thinking about going to a race tire next year so I can try to be competitive in SM.
Looking into using a bias-ply cantilever slick like a Hoosier or Goodyear 23x9.5-15. Both fit on a common 15x7 rim. You get a huge reduction in unsprung weight over a radial tire and wide rim.
From my fairly limited research people say they need a bit more heat the A6s to come up to temp, but once there actually have even more grip and are tolerant of much bigger slip angles (a plus for my driving style).

Anyone here with experience?

I'm running 16x10 Diamond racing wheels on my e30.
I have 5" backspace in the rear, and 4.5" in the front. The front requires a 20mm spacer.

I'm looking at running the 6UL 15x10s soon. +25 offset- 6.45" backside.
I'll have to use a 20mm spacer int he front, and i'll be using z3 trailing arms so i wont need a spacer in the front.

You need the spacer for caliper clearance? 4.5" backspacing should have plenty of clearance otherwise.

I have 12.5 rotors, and per Emilio at 949racing, they won't clear :(

[ukrbmw]

Ok. Been reaching out to SpinWerks and Bogart wheels trying to determine options and pricing for 15X10.

I'm running 11.75 rotors - Kosey K1's clear no problem. What should I be looking for offset/backspacing wise? Can some experienced folks weigh in?

[silence]

Do you plan to run flares?

[ukrbmw]

Yes, already on the car
