    Just out of curiosity what is the difference between Euroweaves and US basketweaves?

    I could do some RZ's too, but I'm not in love with those either.
    Euroweaves are 15"

      Wow, I did not know that...

      What do you guys think of RZ's?

      Also, another advantage of a hatchback. It fits perfect!

        I assume you are talking about RZ378's? I personally prefer the flat face euroweaves, but the RZ's do have a nice dish and a better offset.

        The ultimate is the 15x7 RG003 forged. I keep kicking myself for not buying the last set. They are very rare in E30 fitment, but I will buy the next set that shows up because they are perfect for the E30.

          You can buy euroweaves new! Or I could help you find a set cheap from Germany. I still have a few friends in Germany that could help with logistics.

          What about the trm-1's?

            Ronal LS's maybe? Those look great on an E30!

                    part number 36112226898 for 15x7 nogaro. You could also buy 14inch ones if you were so inclined.

                        Exactly why I didn't post part numbers.

                          Wow. Good to know. Thanks!

                          Looks like a Euro is like $10 more than a 14" weave for new retail. No brainer. I want euroweaves. Never thought new would still be available.

                            The only downside to buying new euro/usweaves is that I'd then feel obligated to actually clean them. With used ones, or D-Forces that don't have a bajilion spokes, I'd feel OK just hosing them off.

                              Same here. I am trying http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-coat.html on a few sets of wheels. Opti-coat plus some sort of brake dust repellant should be a good combination for low maintenance wheel cleaning. I haven't had a chance to apply it because I am waiting for some sets, but I should have results by spring.

                                our office building is on lockdown. Apparently someone was shot nearby at 8am this morning, and the cops are looking for the suspect still.
