E30 Zone

What are these from? 16 inch BBS 4 stud, et 20

They have been on an E30 with 205/50 rubber, I havnt seen them on the car though, the spoke pattern has a curve inwards onto the dish.

pics

I would if I could

aftermarket BBS? what are the markings?

i had some ET12 8.5J16 5 stud ones a while ago with a massive dish

Found some on the bay in 15 inch format

VW fitment wheels I take it?
Any good for an E30 with the et 20 offset?

IIRc, they in turn are golf fitment? and are fairly rare and worth alotta mullah.. had a golf mk2 come into work wiht a set on .. teh wheels were worth more than the car..

I would need some 8mm spacers to get them to fit right?
What about spigot rings?

I quite fancy them as they are not seen very often, not to mention the 16 inch business

with et 20, they'll go straight on

Will they drive ok though?
Only reason I ask is my 16 inch Alpina's are et 28

It's also to do with the width of the wheel, but as Scott said, they will go straight on.

wrong. it's the other way round. 8mm spacers will make a ET20 wheel into ET12.
ET20 should be fine, though a little coser to the arches but not by a massive amount

according to this page, ET15 to ET18 is right. probably baased more on looks than handling so being halfway between should be ok

(nice spelling for VW!!!)
machining will be needed on the wheels if they don't have spigot rings that you can removed / swapped

E30 is 57.1mm. E30 M3 is 72.6mm. IIRC.

Cheers Gareth, I understand now, et = the measurment from the hub face to the centre line of the wheel

How do you think they will look? Bling or ming?

standard 15" BBS wheels are et24. 4mm is sod all buddy!

that's it!
i think bling not too sure on the curved spokes though... a bit 13" nova wheel style...?

TECHNICALLY, the WHEEL will always be et20. Using spacers will change the EFFECTIVE offset though.

yeah, alright! i know!

some people....

fight, fight, fight!!!!!!!!!!

could they be from a mx5? iv seen a few around here with them on.

I know Mazda's had BBS but 16 inch?

Well, I went with cash in hand and they turned out to be 15 inch

Seems we had confused each other in between a set of Alpina's and E39 16 inch BBs

Was a nice thought though
