you dirty man! they are the perfect wheel!!!are they 16's? if they are then they are perfect! no matter what set of wheels i had i would trade them for a set like that! deep dish X-spoke
good man. whats the project? i guess the b25 is up and running sweet now.
gutted about the rad but i will get over it. cheers for trying
yep jaffro's then mine and now jaffro wants them backsphession wrote:those wheels are unreal!! remind me on the 18" alloys the e90's have ,great.
a while ago they were not really looked at and dips had them up for sale for AGES! the jaffro nabbed them even though he was not sure about the look.
now it seems they are on a few cars and i have had a few zoners commenting how good they look. they do look sweet on the tourer
you wanna see jaffro's new wheels
deep dish goodness. i have never seen these on an e30 before (except the tourer they came off), very uniquebit over the top to sell up just cause i stupid ebayer doesnt know what they are selling.
get your money back and buy the hottunning stuff
it will be a harsh ride until they settle in but all will be well.

yeah they are 16's made by Borbet I can't find any more like it ?
they could be yours ,I have just bought a g60 powered vw caddy pick-up and those borbet c's would look great on there
glad the b25 is running sweet!
g60 powered vw caddy pick-up!
they are great!!! get some pictures up. infact i need to get round to your and grab those 14's of ya so i will have to have a look.
Kami i will pm you some details but i wont be able to do it mate. i have had mine off the road for a year, finding time to do my own is not going so well so i dont think i will have time to do it for you. if you can take an engine out you can put the engine in. its not hard if you have all the bits. i will pm you as my prop might be up for sale at some point

they were 50p and 50p to post, them were the days had them a while and never checked them 
i guess i will do more research next time but it was one of those ending in 1min so i trusted it, im a fool.
still all the parts are painted with the hammerite goodness but the diff isnt finished as i ran out of paint and now cash until payday
was going to paint the rear calipers too but again, cash. girlfriends bday might have had something to do with my funding issues. grr.
maybe i will do that bit another time and finish teh diff another time?
this bank holiday im going to have a fully working m30 if it kills me

thanks to jaffro i got teh frame bushes pesssed in so now after a splash of paint its time to put it back on.
everything was back on with new everything! handbrake cables, flexi brakes etc but then......
what happens if you forget these?
yes the plate is the wrong way up but ive sorted that out after having to take off the full rear frame and putting it back on. 3 hours 19mins later and 9.30pm i was in bits but its back on 4 wheels
so e34 ac fan is mounted and wired up but the wires are still getting hot
plenty of space so time to fit rad.
made a nice bracket at the base:
much more space than what i had before
now its back on all 4. needs the iS lip on it and the SE skirts
prop dont fit anymore as we shoved the engine RIGHT back.
not much longer and she will be ready!!!
