Got a set of nearly new Falken Azenis RT615Ks - 215/45/16s. They have about 50 miles on them and then I let the car sit for a few months. When I got it running again, I had some 17's to put on so these came off. The tires are basically brand new! My loss is your gain - I'll sell them for 400 Firm - that's saving about 240 on the set!

Looking to buy some cheap (stock) wheels but with decent tires. 4X100.

Located in the San Fernando area (actually I'm Palmdale but nobody knows where that is so I have to say SF) lmao

[E30_Lue]

Hi guys,

Selling the wheels I originally bought my car with:

16x9 +15 all around.
Rear tires are brand new Toyo Proxes T1R (245/45/16)...meaty!
Front tires have some wear but still life. Kumho ecsta AST (205/40/16)...stretched.












Selling because I'm not a fan of the
Meaty and stretched rubber and I want original wheels.

Will make official thread later today along with craigslist ad.

(All for $500).

Where are you located? I might be buying an e30 without wheels so I want to keep you in mind if your kinda local

Kopi Alpina Reps 17x7.5 et20 4x100

Looking to sell a set Kopi alpina wheels I very recently purchased from a R3V member (check back a couple weeks). Put the wheels on my e30, replaced two tires and just realized I would like to go different route.

5 wheels and 4 tires. Decent tires (205/45/17). Two brand new. Three of the 5 wheels have welds. My novice opinion, the welds were done properly; the drive was smooth and no shakes at low or high speeds. Any other pictures or questions, pm me

Asking $700 obo.

Local pickup/meet preferred. Thanks for looking

Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/45/17
Seeing if there is any interest in my Super Sports. Have maybe 1000 miles on them and will probably have to get a stickier tire as I added more power to my e30. Will know for sure when I take it for a spin next week, but would like to see if anyone is interested. Price is $400 picked up or I can possibly meet you somewhere. I am in Lake Elsinore.

Wow, thanks for the details!

I will be on Bilstien B8's and H&R springs. I'm going to have to do a bit of math to make sure everything clears. I've already got a nice calculator so let's see where that brings me. I'll PM you soon.

Check out willtheyfit.com
I always use that calculator!

Thanks!
Well I'll just go super detailed into this for the heck of it.
Do you need a roll for these wheels/tires?
yes, absolutely in the rear. Depending on how soft or firm your suspension setup is, it will hit the fenders. Personally, I've only rubbed with them in the rear twice over large bumps at speed. Since then, I raised the car a 1/4 inch in the rear and have never had the issue again (1st, 5th, and 6th shot is of the car after raising it 1/4 in. In the rear).
However, the rest of the photos of the car are after I raised it yet again by a half inch front and rear.
I have zero rubbing issues with it!
The fronts don't rub either, but I would recommend a roll just so the tire doesn't hook the fender climbing up steep driveways with your wheels turned at an angle.

I personally run Megan coilovers with 10k (559lb) rates up front, and 12k (671lb) rates in the rear. 22/19mm IE sway bars with reinforcements, Treehouse CAB's, z3 steering rack, e36 control arms, and freshened up components (control arms, bushings, etc)
I give zero f*cks about what the purists have to say about these coilovers. Take a ride in the car, and try and say it handles poorly...
At the end of the day, Megan and BC (same exact shock/coilover design minus the color) are great options. They allow plenty of features, adjustability, and customization to make the car feel, handle, and look the way you want it to.

The build quality is quite nice, and they do the job perfectly. Sure, they're not KW's or ohlins with thousands of hours of research, development, and tons of different bump and rebound adjustments geared for track cars. But I'm not going to spend $2000+ for track suspension on a daily driver.

To the spirited daily driver that will see mild auto-x time and needs the adjustability to fit various wheels or go for different styles, I would say they're the best bang for the buck.

It's less about having the right brand name on there, and more about how you set up the suspension. Find the right springs rates, dampening, camber settings, and a proper alignment and they'll out-handle a poorly set up high end suspension.

Now I'm not saying that my suspension is set up Perfectly, if anything I should raise the car up in the front to regain some of the original suspension geometry, however looks are just as important to me, so I'm willing to sacrifice a slight bit in performance to have it look the way I'd like it to.
However, the car just sticks in the corners. It feels amazingly well balanced and handles like a dream. I've had multiple very knowledgable car buddies drive my car on mountain roads grinning cheek to cheek complimenting the car's ability and handling.

Do you need a roll to fit your style 5 set up with those adapters? Do you ever run?

What's your suspension set up. Looks good.

Thanks

Hey guys, I'm thinking about mixing it up and finding some new shoes for the e30. So I'm posting up a trade/for sale feeler for my current wheels!

I have (5) 16x8 BMW style 5's (4 with tires and one Spare without a tire) with relatively fresh 215/40/16 Yokohama S drives. (About 2000 miles total)
Mounting these requires the 20/18mm 4x100-5x120 adapters (with studs and all hardware included)

The wheels aren't in the best condition, but are straight and true. The tires are balanced well and there are absolutely no vibrations at any speed! They stick super well and inspire confidence in the corners!

The adapters have around 1000 miles on them and are in excellent condition!

Also, to go along with the package are 16x8.5 16x9.5 staggered corvette salad shooters. All they need is a little milling of the center bore (to increase from 70.3mm to 72.5mm) should be a simple job anyone wth a lathe can accomplish. Or take them to a wheel specialty shop and have them do it for less than 50 bucks.
They're in awesome shape, with almost no curb rash, however they were rattle canned white in the past. I don't have enough time to strip the white finish off of them, however id be happy to make some time for an additional cost.

I also have (2) 205/50/16 Riken Raptor (cheapo) tires to go along with these that have some life left. All you need is two more tires and you've got a complete set of wheels and tires!

For this entire package, I'd like only the small cost of $950
That's 9 wheels total, 6 tires, and adapters to fit any large hub BMW wheel for lass than a grand!

Accepting trade offers with similar value as well, or I can add cash on my end if you have something I like!

I'm willing to sell the salad shooters with 205/50 tires separately for $180 OBO
OR:
(5) style 5's with 215/40 yokohama's and 18/20mm adapters for $825 OBO

Do you need a roll to fit your style 5 set up with those adapters? Do you ever run?

What's your suspension set up. Looks good.

Thanks

If anyone has some decent 205/50/15 or 225/45/15 tires laying around and want to sell, please PM me. My tires are shot
