I dont understand why anybody would want to do 5lug swap on e30 nowadays. There are plenty of wheel options for 4x100 nowadays, and big break kits are readily available as well. Proper 5lug is almost completely unavailable and cost prohibitive, and nice 5lug rims are getting more and more rare/expensive as well in good offsets.

the wheels I like/want/love are all 2x more in 4lug. I will not swap I was asking for a friend... One day 4 lug will be cool ppl will stop and stare! lol just like a good m20 m42

@Kronus
You got pictures of the Weds? If they are the ones I'm thinking about, I will hate you.

[JinormusJ]

You bastard

I love those with the TH covers on them

[kronus]

covers? I've been looking for hub covers for these, have no idea what fits..

[JinormusJ]

Mkcman17 (Mike) of SoCal-Chat has a set with the covers on he's been rolling on for a year now since getting them from a yard trip

Look straight 80s retro

so uh, what are you gonna do with that 323i engine when the M30 turbo goes in? :)

still want to do the 731 head/eta bottom combo in a car, and i might buy a 2nd car if i end up moving to ATL.

I've got an eta block under my bench if you need it ;)

also, you should do a 2.6 instead of a 2.7, using the 323's crank. the 323's shorter stroke makes for a revvier motor, and since you'll need custom pistons, good chance to build something to Hartge H26 spec and end up with a 200hp M20 :mrgreen:

[decay]

wait. why does 731 head on eta block require custom pistons? i've never heard that before.

the 323 crank is in between the i and eta cranks, but the pistons are 80mm bore instead of 84. there is no oem piston that will give you reasonable compression and not plant itself into the valves.

(2.6 is the displacement you end up with when you use a 323 crank with 84mm pistons)

200HP/190-210Tq m20?

[kronus]

fyi e and i blocks are the same. they have the same part #.

and, this is with a 732 head, which is like a worse 885 head, but more resistant to cracking cause it's got more meat in between various places.

@Sinabruh-san

Are you running euroweaves or e38 Weaves?
They look too large to be euroweaves, but last I knew thats what you were running

yesh e38 weaves

e38 weaves
with 5lug adapters

yesh

they are e38 weevs

yesh

I was going to go the euroweave route originally, but decided that it would be more cost-effective to just get style 5's cause they're bigger, and have a more pronounced lip.

i like them a lot so far, running them on 205/45's.



I think they look miles better than the basketweaves i had for 3 years.

[JinormusJ]

Well duh... They 16"
Anyone running 15" on an e30 and think they look good dont know what looks good

I think your car looks much more complete with them
