just a quickie, i know RS's are, but are RM's available in 16"? there is something about them that i prefer over RS's, can't quite put my finger on it but i can only ever find 15" RM's for sale.
Can anybody confirm this for me before i put up a wanted ad for something that doesn't exist?

RM's were available in 16" x 7.5", in 5x120 fitment, but these are "Rare", and I don't use the term loosely either. 
If you Got "Haters",Then your doing something Right!

i'm sure ive seen a 4x100 16in set, but they are absurdly rare, probably more desirable than 16in RSs just for the rarity factor.
cheers,

15" RM's look the gonads on an E30 mate! I'm desperate for a set after seeing Dips' Touring:
Although personally i'd run some slightly bigger tyres.

Didn't wont to make one more thread about RM, so will post here. I have recently bought BBS RM 15" and i was thinking for going 2" lip in front which will become 8J and 2.5" at the back resulting in 8.5J. The original wheels have ET33. Has anyone tried such a set up on a e30? thanks.

If you do a search on the zone, there's plenty of pics of people running RM's.

The problem is, that unless it tells what is the lip size, it is rather hard to make right judgement.
