Following the demand from the US Spec E30 racers, BimmerWorld commissioned D-Force to produce a 15x7 version of their lightweight LTW5 design. Its taken more than 12 months, but they are finally available!

Available at US$105 for a short time (then US$115), these are an excellent choice of wheel for those racing 4 stud E30s i.e. Production BMW Cup, Kumho Series, Track Days etc; weighing in at only 5.9kg (13lb).

All the correct measurements that you want for an E30 15" wheel:
15x7J, 4x100 PCD, 57.1mm CB (no centering rings), ET25 offset. They also offer a decent amount of caliper clearance for those running bigger brakes. Available from Bimmerworld in 3 colours (Silver, Anthracite, Flat Black)

Talk to the guys at BimmerWorld today, I've ordered 6 of these for my E30 325i, and despite the recent drop in the exchange rate, I still reckon they're excellent value.

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?
