New 15x8 wheel coming!

[Knockenwelle]

The center caps are shit, anyways. Mine melted and fell off the first time I got the brakes warm with these wheels...

Big brakes are for big wheels. These are not big wheels.

I actually own that car now. It used to be "bmwjnky"s on bimmerforums. Suspension is ground control coilovers. Tires are 205/50/15 Sumitomo HTR-Z. No modifications or issues with the fitment. The wheels are the 15X8.

I'm bumping,

because i really like these wheels and am truly undecided what i want...

added to my long list

They fit the Massive Sport kit with just a couple mm shaved off the corners of the caliper. No biggie, and they're nice and light.






The wheels were cheaper than the stupid es100's I had to get mounted on them from the rack. It was coming down to the wire and my ARC-8's couldn't be repaired so I bought that set, I forget which tire they had out of stock, but no matter. I really like them.

I heard that these TR Motorsport wheels are sold by tirerack but actually made by Enkei, can anyone confirm this or is this simply a rumor?

It's been a while but some/all of TRM's wheels are/were made by Enkei. TRM used to (not sure if they still do) tout that their wheels were made with "MAT Technology" which is an Enkei technology/marketing buzz word.

The TRM MT-1 also looks identical to the old Enkei Tarmac ES.

So all of this I guess is still rumor since I'm too lazy to look up any proof. I remember a post somewhere (NASIOC?) where the Tire Rack rep there did confirm that Enkei was making the wheels for them. This was circa 2008 so not sure if Tire Rack has changed suppliers or not.

Thanks for the info.

Very happy with mine. Was hard pressed to find a better looking lite weight wheel for the price. In hind sight I should have got wider tires but I was concerned about rubbing, I'll know for next time.

Nick S are you running the 7" or 8" wide rims?

<3 breaks that are bugg.

I have heard the 15x8 K1s can fit the race kit. If this is true I may be on the lookout for a set...

[kamotors]

I love mine
they fill the fenders perfectly

[J308]

Just got a set of these... I'll be sure to post pics once I get my rat sorted out.

[pharow]

Which is better for a DD? The 7" or 8" wide rims?
