E30 Zone

After seeing a fair few e30's with dished wheels ive decided that i want a set...has anyone got any ideas of any deep dish alloy makes and brands that would fit a e30 316i 4 stud??

Thanks

Plenty of ideas.
What are you looking to spend for a start and what particular wheel are you after.
BBS's will fit, there's a set on sale here, RS's
RM 's will fit too, 15".

Looking to spend about £500-£600 on the right set...what about the size of the wheels..does it make a difference being my e30 is standard with discs n pads on front and drums on rear..space wise...would bbs lm's fit? and would i need spaces and rolled arches??

I have some 7.5 x 16 borbet B's they're virtually mint. One of the rarest & best looking wheel for the e30. No hurry to sell for under £750

two have conti sport 1's with 3mm+ (because they were on the front)

the other two have no tires

Your budget would be for Borbets A'a, maybe B's, or some other make of wheel.
These are available too, can be run with Adaptors

These RS rip offs

I had a look at a set of those Calibre wheels. Not very nice.

Theres these:

or these:

You won't get a set of genuine BBS RS/RM for anywhere near £500.

Problem with the ones you linked too is the "Bolts" are all out of sync, the Calibre ones have all the bolts equally spaced to mimick the look

Yes the Lenso's are out of sync, but look closer at the second link and they match up nicely...

Yes they do, but they are 15" where as the Calibres are 17" and do look much better imo.

the Calibres are better than the other shite , Lenso's really suck !

who owned the white tourer at the german show rav ?

Am I missing something or did these possibly (it's unlikely) sell for a quid ?

No chance, either sold outside of ebay or sold elsewhere.

Nah, seller ended the auction early, cancelling all bids.

How about a nice wide set of Azev A's....But I would say that

Hmmm. BBS RS are big money. Make sure if you're going to paint them, do them right. Be prepared to spend £800-1200 for a good set to begin with.

Money doesnt bother me aslong as it keeps it different from corsa's and saxo's

rav's selling his 003's if money isn't a concern, they are the wheels you want

Hello all, been browsing every website that has bbs rs's forsale and come across these on ebay which i rather like...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/15-BBS-RS-STYLE-A ... 5d2afd0ae2

Would these fit? and what other procedures would i need to take to have these fitted such as arch rolling spacers adaptors??

I dont understand all this wheel business i thought it would be as simple as one off one on

the offset is a bit high et35 - ie the tire is further away from the wheel arch than et25

Would have to look at them in the flesh, but generally don't go the 'bbs style' route

Ahh i see,isnt it illegal for your wheel/tyre to be further out/away from your arch?

No no no no no no no no no no!
If you are going the Copy route, then Konig Rememebers or Calibres.
