      hmmm looking for something functional, decently cheap, and lightweight. I keep coming back to the TR Motorsport wheels for those reasons mentioned above. But i feel like theres something better out there.

        Those are way to gaudy for my taste.

        I can't complain about my TR Motorsports, nice and simple design.

        I really dig Ronal LS. Although I think they are only 15x6.5 versus 16x7 for TR or even euroweaves.

            I think TR Motorsport is a great option for these cars. They look purposeful.

            Other good options:
            Kosei K4R, 15x8", 13.1lbs - $149
            Kosei K5R, 15x8", 13.5lbs - $109
            Kosei K6R, 15x8", 14.5lbs - $89
            Kosei K8R, 15x8", 13.0lbs - $138

              TRMs are great for that all function method. They look reasonable but are pretty much ideal offset and width.

              You could always dig up a set of hartges out of someones dust garage boxes like I did :P

              I've been eyeing up ebay and have gotten suprised at how low the prices are on some nicer sets of wheels. Lots of 15/16x8 OZ designs for only 600-1000 or so.

              I also like some of ESM's new options for cheaper wheels, but I question their quality.

              Or Apex ARC's for some 235s and no sidewall flex ha.

I still have to order the front subframe reinforcement stuff from garagistic, pick up springs and struts, and tie rods

                            Yup I agree totally. TRM's are super functional. They look pretty decent as well, but still not enough to make me spend money lol.

                            Ideally 16x8. 16s are perfect on e30s.

                            Hahah thank you! I saw two supras today! First one I thought was you and the BF. I waved to the guy and I was totally wrong!! HAHAHAHA! Second time was a charm I guess! And you can hear the M3?! It's so damn quiet, I guess I'm so used to the E30!


                            KILL STORY: took the E30 out for the first time In a week and did some night time cruising. A buddy of mine spotted me in his STI swapped GC8 and proceeded to drop second gear. Let's just say he was thoroughly embarrassed by Blythe the BMW lol....and now my pursuit for LTW begins lolol

                                I got so excited there for a second!! I saw the 16 and 4x100, and thought that maybe they were the splits. I was gonna jump on them if they were... Haha. But nope, they're the monoblock ones. Damn.[emoji14]
