Opinion on wheels (BOUGHT THEM NOW!!!)

[Wilson]

I've always liked black wheels with silver or polished lip. The mim wheels on my car at the moment were OK but they now look to small since adding the sport m tech 2 kit, also a couple of the wheels on my car have been damaged by previous owner and I think are causing shaking above 80mph.

Ideally I'd like these wheels in 16", but they only do 15 or 17's.... I have a brand new set of 17" tyres at home, which makes these wheels only Ԛ£365 for the set!!

So what do you all think? would it look OK? I really cant decide!!!!

[Karan]

yeh i think theyd look cool with a 60mm drop

[dazleeds]

mmmmmm not sure??

photoshop anyone????

[Wilson]

I'm getting 60/40mm drop... I think its 60mm all round at moment,but with standard shocks!!! feels a bit soft!!!!

[Wilson]

mmmmmm not sure??

photoshop anyone????

Thought about photoshop... I need a side on pic of my car. Oh.... and photoshop!!!!!

Black wheels + silver rim =

[320Touring]

YES!!!!!!

[Lowm3]

they will go well with your motor

[Adam318i]

Are they Inigma, or something like that?

I was thinking of getting them as i like the dish to them, also probably better quality then alpina reps.

wonder what they'd look like on Dolphin grey.

Nice wheels dude.

Tempted to get a set myself

You'll defo need spacers though, the offset is 10mm out , they list hubcentrics for Ԛ£50 so not bad @ all

get some and post the pix up dude, I can then photchop to make your car zinnobar like mine

[Lowm3]

wolfrace octanes i think

[TOURINGDADDY]

I'm not sure on those mate

[Nick325]

When i first saw those wheels in one of the BMW mags,i thought they would be the dogs on a white or black car.
Wouldn't mind a set myself.

So they would sit to far under the arch and look silly then?? I like wheels sticking out as much as possible... what size spacers should I get? 10mm - 15mm??

[dikky5]

yep yep yep. simple modern and tough lukkin. i like it.

Yeah, I'm 110% that they would look perfect on a white e30, but wasn;t so sure on a black car, if it would look too black!!, has anybody got any pics of a black car with black wheels??

[Richy325iTouring]

paint the centers of the mims norgaro look sweeter

paint the centers of the mims norgaro look sweeter

Honestly wanted to do that, and possibly have the lips polished / diamond cut too.... would look good. I like the rims on my car but there is a few problems with them ---

1, two off the wheels are dented on the inside, one quite badly the other not so bad (Could be causing my 80mph shake)

2, only two of the wheels are actually mims, I dont know what the other two are!!!, they are very slightly different, they dont have mim stamped on them, one type has sharper edges on the spokes, and one set has a lip around the four bolt holes, while the others are flush.

3, two of them have the wrong bore size they are too big, which makes it almost impossible to centre the wheel on the hub without the spacer thingys (are they called spigots?) (Could also be causing my 80mph shake)


4, I would rather they were 16's!!!

So you see, really it is not worth sticking with these rims!!

[Richy325iTouring]

buy another set of mims
id love a set again but im happy with me pinas

[Wilson]

Due to 78% Yes, I have now bought and fitted them....
What do you think???

[Kedge]

Looks well nice mate, bet it looks awesome at night with the lights shinning of the rims.

[Wilson]

I like the dish on them

(Excuse the calipers, previous owner done that... need to sort them now I've got these wheels!!!)

[Jon_Bmw]

Looks mean as you like, really liking the deep dish on them. I've got a soft spot for black wheels with a polished rim, had them on my first car.

Good Choice!!

[Ant]

PHAT dude

I like them, what width spacer did you opt for in the end ?

[Mahmood]

I was gonna say no...now I have seen them on, I think you have made the right choice.

It's good to be different

[Andy_magic]

I've gotta say they are one of a few aftermarket wheels that I think suit an E30, looks very good wilson.

Loving the black centre/silver rim-ness

[Wilson]

Thanks guys.

Ant - I went for 20mm spacers, brought it to 18 I believe, they fit fine no rubbing at all, and look just perfect...

The wheel bolts were slightly to long, I had to take couple mil of the rear bolts or would have mangled my hanbrake mechanism!!!!!!

[M5pilot]

Look well mean.

Black wheels with silver outer always looks superb. My M5 is like that aswell.

[Geeman]

I voted yes... and Wow! They look great!

Good choice dude.
