New 15x8 wheel coming!

[pharow]

Just do the 8s. No real reason not to. Car will look better and handle better with any given tire for only a few more sheckles.

Yes sir! lol

Ok. Thanks guys. I'm leaning a lil more to the 8", but still thinking about it. You guys on this forum are a big help.

Cool deal. If you go through the 15" wheel thread ( I go last page -> forward), you can find pics of the 7". Not a bad looking wheel, but doesn't look quite as good as the 8" to me.

I haven't rolled my fenders yet :drink:

Yeah, I don't expect to *need* a roll on by 15x8 with 225s. I don't think I'll be going low enough. That said, if I hit, I'm rolling 'em, no problemo.

Ha! The po of my car did something to ram a tire up into my fender, on a stock ix no less!

I'd say he jumped it if I knew that was possible without wrecking the oil pan. :D

Haha, that takes skills!

I have only had them rub on two occasions, once was when I had three people in the car and took a hard corner with R888s (rear rubbed), the other was when I was completely sideways over rough pavement with RS3s (front rubbed).

I needed the slight roll and pull in the rear for the 225s. But now I'm gunna space them out 6 mm since I have some extra space :)

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

The 8". Roll your fenders.

Depends on what you are looking for. Personally I don't think the 7s look that good.

The 7" has a flat face, the 8" has a concave face. They look different for sure, and the only way I could pull them off is if they were black.

i need to get myself a set of these soon i cant decide if i should go with black or silver anyone have a pic of black with a white e30

I love white cars and black wheels, but this doesn't really work that well for me on the E30.

My advice is to go through the TRM C1 thread, and through the black wheels threads, and make your decision.

I don't want to have to do any fender rolling or anything like that. They would be used on my '87 that is a DD car, but I hope to do some autox this year.

Just forget your hangup on fender rolling. You're going to spend almost as much on wheels and tires than the car is worth in FMV, you might as well roll. I'll almost guarantee you that you can find someone from the local import forum that will roll them for $50 and have them look good. The e30 is a small car. If you want to run a large tire and wheel package, roll.

well if you have any interest in selling the silver set in the near future i may be interested

[robgoesvroom]

I've actually got two sets of these wheels: Silver for dd, grey for track.




Yes thats about a 6ft table top I got from Ikea. I'm not too keen on the silver, but thought I would mix it up.

[Harry's E30]

Check out some of my threads with pics of my car and you won't even consider black ;)

haha ya the silver definitely adds more character, looks like are cars may be looking like twins soon haha

[Balleristic31]

^this

I also have the same brake dust issue as u :p

[Wh33lhop]

Need pictars of your car with those R888s. Looks like win

Hah, I just posted 'em up, why not.





My wheels are actually bright silver too, but they wind up anthricate after a few days of brake dust :p

I've never really liked black wheels. Silver is way more classy, and you can actually see the details of the wheel--imagine that.
