E30 Zone

I've got some Porsche D90 wheels which were for a Corrado which im selling to fund my 325 project. Heres a pic with the wheels next to the car:



What you guys reakon?

In my honest and not very often valued opinion I would say that the computer says no. I keep looking at the photo and all I keep seeing is a mkII Orion on cloverleafs for some reason.

But if you like 'em chuck 'em mate. Horses for courses.

I like them and would fit them if I had a set with adaptors knocking about

Here's some inspiration

Cheers for the opinion, will keep it in mind.

Not too sure how they will go with the Mtech 2 kit, but they do look like nice on the E30.

Heres one i found:

^^ suits the red car as the wheel are dark, but in white or silver it just looks terrible.

If i was to spend so much money to fit 5 bolt hubs i would be looking at Style 5's (look at very top of page)...but its your car and your money!

porsche wheels are very easy to adapt though.

theyre 5x130mm which means you can do 4x100 to 5x130 adapters without the hole clash you get with 4x100 to 5x120 adapters, and as theyre popular with the vw lot you can buy them off the shelf in various widths.

handily porsche wheels always have pretty high offsets so wheels + adapter gives an overall offset that works very well with standard e30 bodywork, plus porsche wheels are usually pretty light .

far far less issues and much cheaper than trying to fit most 5 stud bmw wheels on a 4x100 pcd car.

must admit, i like the clean simple shape of the d90, you need to see them in the flesh to notice the thin walled spokes. it doesnt help that in the first pic they look a dull flat silver and have grubby tyres.

i think they will look good
