Group Buy Pre-Order Thread: e30 fitment 15x10 track wheels

[Thing30]

Sweet.

FYI, the above pic was my old setup. There was very little metal cut out--just the lower front valence trimmed a tiny bit. The rest was done with a very aggressive fender rolling, but it did fit. I was limited in how much I could lower the rear, so I changed it and added DTM Fiberworks flares that I cut for clearance. It is much easier to fit on an early car as the rear arches are higher.

Nice input. Emphasis on aggressive ;D Any pics with Dtm flares? Love that fat fitment :up:

Exciting update! Jongbloed will also make this wheel in a 5x120 pattern for those of you interested in running these on a 5 lug swapped car.

Also see the first post for an updated rendering of what the 15x10 wheel is expected to look like!

I'm planning to send out payment instructions by the end of this week as we've got almost 15 people interested between the 4x100 and 5x120
Its looking like payment will go as follows: 50% up front to Jongbloed, and then once the wheels arrive to them they will expect the other 50% payment before sending out the wheels.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't think that a 15" wheel in the 5x120 pattern would clear brakes, or is this for a setup I don't know about.

This is something I wasn't aware of, is there a specific brake kit you have concerns about not fitting?

The wheel's are being designed to clear as many of the massive 4x100 BBK kits as possible.

The only ones I'm thinking of currently that might not clear would be e36 m3 brakes.

I have the e36 m3 setup right now. That's why I was curious. I know that they'd probably fit stock e30m3 setups and maybe the e28s. Fitting any of the massive BBK kits that are 5-lug is beyond my knowledge.

[hoyabmw]

e36 m3 brakes require very specific 16s to fit, otherwise it's 17+

The funny part is that the front caliper on an e34 touring is the same as the e36 m3, and on the e34 it is under 15s, just using smaller rotors.

As if there wasn't already enough things to buy this weekend Ryan at Jongbloed just sent over this document and said they are ready to begin taking pre-payment on the 15x10 in your choice of flavors, 4x100 or 5x120! I am working on sending all those who expressed interest a PM with more payment info etc. if you don't receive a PM from me by the end of the day let me know!

Cheers,
Brad

Hehe, yep, I just got off the phone with him. That 10" has even more dish than 9"

It looks good! Now if you can get the BMW crowd to commit.

I sure hope I can! just sent out about 20 pm's we'll see what happens!

For those interested there's still time to get in on the group pre-buy and although more expensive than your usual rota/XXR wheel compared to other 15x10 options, you won't find anything cheaper.

15x10 et25 6UL set of 4: $973 shipped.
Eibach 4x100 25mm spacer/adapter set of 4: $250 shipped
Total Cost: $1223

15x10 et0 Work Meister with R3V discount: $1760

and the list just goes on and gets more expensive

[robgoesvroom]

Couple questions:

1. What is the manufacturing process used to make these wheels?
2. Will they clear Massive's 300x32mm Race kit?

IIRC Lee only sells the kits with AP racing calipers now?


Thanks!

So no 15x9 option? :( These aren't really feasible without going apeshit on your fenders, even if you wanted to put a 225 R comp on them.

[tinkerputzer]

Agreed ^^^

I don't want to hack up my car so the 15x9 is would be more appealing to me.

[FLG]

Why not support the community further and see if you can work out a deal on spacers for these wheels with motorsport hardware? Plus I'm sure some guys would want to switch to studs too.

Really? 225 won't fit with a roll and pull? I don't really consider that "going apeshit" but some may. Flares I do not want to do, however. Anyone think roll-pull and 225's will fit?

I have 2 sets for the miata. 15x7.5 nickel for daily use and these pictured:





Those are 15x9 silver with Nitto Neo Gen 205/50 r15 but now have 225/40 r 15 Nitto NT01's.

If we get the 17" I'm likely down for that. If I can fit these 10's and the 17's aren't going to be made, I might still be down.
