Ah yeah.. Totally forgot about adapters...
Don't a decent pair of weaves go for about $200 though..?

[mbonanni]

well think of it this way. $200 for rims $400 for adapters/redrill and $300 minimum for tires. probably more.

That's how I see it anyways.

[JinormusJ]

Well if your on budget, euroweaves are cheap at around $250-$300, 4x120 so no redrill needed, AND are still classy. You could run spacers on the too to get a little more poke going for maybe $100/$200 max. Only downside is they're 15s. You could always run e38 style 5s too (16s is by far the nicest wheel size for an e30. Period). They're budgetable and you can usually get a set of 5 (for a full-size spare too) with caps for $400-$500. You HAVE to redrill/run adapters which would cost you $100-$300 depending on which route you go though

Those Sawblades wouldn't work with a redrill. They don't have centercaps, so you wouldn't be able to hide the drills


Has anyone heard of a "break in" time for the centersupport bearing..? My friend said his was the same deal, but after about 100 miles it went away. Seems legit.. 60 miles driven today and I just got home from another drive and it doesn't seem to be as bad as it was this morning (not much more of the "wooshing" noise either, but I'd have to wait til it's colds again to see if it still sounds irregular)

Just a random question, but would you guys ever paint an oil pan or random suspension components bright colors just for the hell of it? It's not like people would ever see it, and it'd be kinda amusing when you're under there I guess.

J--Where the hell do you find euroweaves for $250?? I've seen like 700 for a good set with caps.

[JinormusJ]

I'd probably paint my front and rear subframes red just for the lulz, and maybe go yellow strut towers, but that's as far as I'd go :-P

Sorry, meant basketweaves for the first price. I haven't checked price on Euroweaves, and I kinda assumed they were the same price (which doesn't make much sense now that I think about it lol). My mistake. They're 14/15s respectively, no..?

[Vivek]

Yes they are. iX weaves are also 15" but you need spacers since they're a high offset (like 40 i think). I think a subframe would be a bit much maybe, but like lollipops and trailing arms, maybe the lower oil pan on an m42.

[mbonanni]

I was referring to e38 style doves on my post earlier. Haha.

I will find something.

[JinormusJ]

I'll eventually run e38 5s on my car as a DD wheel. They're overplayed and almost half of the e30s I see rolling around have them, but they're niiiiiiiice

I think theyre super classy. Stock, discrete, weave style. Like I said before, theyre $350-$500 which makes em affordable too. Can't go wrong with them IMO

[e30shmobberr]

i hate today.

[Vivek]

e38 5's can be had for 300 or less fairly easily. It's the $350-400 adapters that really kill you.

^^why?

[Pantless Spency]

Chill Danny.. You were once 15 ;)

actually exactly a year after Danny's 14th birthday they had his 16th birthday

[Pantless Spency]

^^^
Be interesting nonetheless... If they were 5x120. They won't fit. They don't exactly float my boat (I'm a huge BBS/Basketweaves type of guy). But hey; e30s are cars that can make almost any rim look good :-P

not sure how i would feel about these on an e30.

[Pantless Spency]

I like simple wheels. The prototipo is nice. Im not sure really though.

Anything works.

Edit: these on an e30?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/2998491483.html

they would look awesome with the right offset/spacers.
i wonder if they make 4x100 to 5x114.3 spacers, would be ideal.

[mbonanni]

wtf is up with the picture.

[JinormusJ]

actually exactly a year after Danny's 14th birthday they had his 16th birthday

:rofl:
Spence.. You always make me laugh somehow... :-D
It wasn't that funny, but I think I just love seeing Flapjack every time you post

not sure how i would feel about these on an e30.

my thoughts exactly, but everyone's got different tastes and such. I was just trying to be nice about it ;)
