E46 MV2 alloy wheels on a E30 ?

[smithy318i]

Your opinion is valued.

Im thinking of putting these on my car.



I have some 42mm 5 stud spacers, will they fit?

[smithy318i]

A little more info:

7.5"x17" ET47

Ԛ£330

who put will look crap? Please explain why.

[Sjoerd320i]

I did mate, but when I just looked in this thread these wheels were not shown on the pic

it showed something like this wheel, which I think will not look good on an e30

[Andy325i]

Are the rears not wider like some of the other sexy E46 wheels?

Get some clever person to photoshop them for you

[smithy318i]

I was going to photoshop them! but it's raining outside so i can't take a side view of the car

[Andy325i]

I made a mistake on the pic (I assumed nobody saw that pic as i changed it quite sharpish)

[Sjoerd320i]

ahh I see mate

that's why I clicked the looks crap box

the other ones will look cool tho

329iturbo aka Sjoerd, You have PM

[Sjoerd320i]

pm recieved and here ya go matey

[320Touring]

sorry mate-had to vote that they look crap

i think they look too 'bling and chavvy' for your car

reminds me of some of the poor e30's near me with blacked out windows and big wheels

sorry.

however mate, its your car so do what you like

[smithy318i]

I think im going to
I think they look great, and the more i look at them, the more i want them.
Just need to work out of they will fit. I can't do it now because my brain would hurt too much.

I put will look crap... because that was the nearest option to what I think... their not necessarily crap. but just not the best, they dont look good, IMO, for Ԛ£330 it could be better.. there is some borbets on ebay, (not the 9", but the 7.5") still got a bit of a dish, I reckon these would look 20 times better!!!!

how them wheels staying on sjeord mate they aint got any bolts on them

[Wilson]

Bit dangerous with no brakes to!!

[Sjoerd320i]

yeh yeh I know it guys

think of it as making the car lighter

[Zayyan]

They're not bad but not great

Just don't think they suit the car, maybe if it was bodykitted etc. but it doesn't look right as it is

[Geeman]

It was either these or the MV's I want to put on my 'dream' project E30.

Mtech 2 kitted E30 in a dark M5 red, with V8 power....

[LOOPYLEE1965]

my mate has just put a set of these on his 523ise and three hours after he put them on someone pulled out in front of him he took avoiding action (ran up the kerb) and has scuffed the rims on both near side rims OUCH how unlucky is that sorry

[smithy318i]

I hope he got the person who pulled out on him to pay to have them repaired!
I'd be foaming.

[E30BeemerLad]

I reckon the wheels Sjoerd originally thought Smithy meant would look better. Go on Sjoerd, be a smart fooker and photoshop them on

[SwirlyE30]

Either wheels arnt really my cup of tea! Sorry mate, just dont think they go well on the E30, i prefer Hartge, Pinas, BBS's etc. Gota love oldskool...

[smithy318i]

Made an attempt at it but ill wait for the expert.

[dazleeds]

dont do it mate

they dnt belong an e30 no way imo Daz

[Wilson]

still not to impressed mate! Sorry!

[E30BeemerLad]

anyone got a pic of some MIM alloys, you know the ones with loads of spokes, kind of look like Hartge alloys.

I did know where there was a set, bit scruffy but I think the bloke was going to be wanting about Ԛ£150 for them. They prob would need a refurb.

Let me know if you are interested. They are 15's I think but nice deep dish and old skool

[smithy318i]

It looks like im not going to be able to put 5 studs on anyway, as the wheels will stick out like a tractor.

Never mind, ill just sell the stud converters on ebay.

[TOURINGDADDY]

i dont think they suit an e30 there too new if ya know what i mean

[Wilson]

:yeahthat: too new

they are sweet, but all the nice wheels are 5 stud

[john-rambo]

where can i get a 5 stud conversion from cos i want to put a set 17inch schnitzer reps on mine cos e30 schnitzers r like hens teeth (rare!) oh yeah e46 rims on an e30 NOOO it just makes u look like u want an e46 but u cant no wot i mean???

[Wilson]

pop some BMW badges in there

I already have, just gotta tidy them up, then I'll swap between the wheels as and when i feel like it!!! although I need to raise the exhaust a little before I can put any 15's on!!
