[JGG1]

Just wondering if anyone has any pics of these on a touring??

Or any other pics of tourings with decent rims??

[Cloggy Saint]

Are those the Lenso fake splits??

Im not sure, saw them on ebay, 16", seen them on here on a white 325i

[cliffybabe]

yeah saw these's int he metal nice looking rim with a good dish, i think they'd look the nuts on a touring

[Cloggy Saint]

I asked about these some time ago and was told that they buckle as soon as they see a pot-hole. I was also told that the finish doesn't stay good for very long.

[JGG1]

saqi had them on his white 325, might ask if he had any problems with them. Still, Im open to all suggestions as I want to get it right first time!!

[OBs]

Are these for the Touring I see stuck in a lane Jay?

What happened there then...

No mate that tourings been dead for ages! Spun it in the lanes, stuck as f*ck! I just picked up a new touring, got 17" alpina reps, that have to go!

[saqi]

hi mate, i had these on my sport they do look real good in the flesh and i didnt have any problems with them, i saw one guy in the hayes area who had them on a touring, they did look good on that too.

Cheers saqi, it was seeing them on your sport that made me want them! That car was awesome!!

Yeah I think id rather have steels than the alpinas!!

[Cloggy Saint]

I've got a feeling these rims might be multi-fit 4x100 and 4x108. Could be wrong though.

[JGG1]

Well Iv still got to chuck an engine in it yet so plenty of time to think about rims, like I say, im open to suggestions!

[davidt]

Fitted them to my sport, very pleased with the look for what they cost.

[JGG1]

Are they the 15's or 16's? They look quality! Need to see them on touring!

[davidt]

15's and fit with no problems.

[Cloggy Saint]

Are they multi-fit?

Main problem with them is that they have been copied with VWs in mind. To that end they are a high offset and pretty thin. Ergo they look completely lost in an E30s arches unless you use massive spacers and even then from behind you can see they are thin wheels.

Not to mention the fact they are cheaply made, heavy, etc..

[JGG1]

cheaply made, heavy, etc..

That doesn't sound good!!

I haven't got a clue what rims to get! Like I say, I want to get it right first time so if anyone has ANY ideas then feel free to put them forward! Pictures would be even better!!

I was also looking at these and think they look awesome. At the end of the day, it's what you want on your car. By the way, did you order a German badge from the link I gave you? ;)

[JGG1]

Yeah I do like the look of them, think I may go for the 16's, didn't order the badge yet, think I will though as Iv never seen one around my way!

[greentouring]

What do you think of these? I think I may like these better.............Available in 4 stud e30 size soon. I think they're a little less 'bling', but still cool.

[JGG1]

Nice one mate, they look the nuts!!! I reckon they will look quality on my touring!!

[Cloggy Saint]

I've seen these available in 15" and 16", and 7J, so no more skinny than a 15" BBS. The ETs available are 20 and 38. Would either of these ETs fit an E30 ok?

[JGG1]

No idea mate, I think I'm going to go with the rims in the link, 7.5 x 17" then maybe paint the centres in gunmetal grey or something similar. Just got to sell the alpina reps now!!

[greentouring]

You have probably noticed already mate, but the alloys in the link are ''split rim look''. Just wanted you to be aware........;)

Yeah mate, thanks for the link!! I emailed them today to see about ordering a set! I think they will look the nuts if they are done in dark grey/silver.

Ok...cool. Hey, ask them if I get commission for pointing you their way! lol

What would be the problem with ET20 on an e30? I'm looking at the add for the 7 x 15'' rim. That doesn't sound a high ET. The 7.5 x 16'' rim has an ET of 24.

I thought VWs (MK 1 & 2 Golf/Scirocco) were an offset of ET38 (or thereabouts).

It would be good to see some photos of these on an E30 close -up.

[JGG1]

Right I'm pretty sure I'm going to order these at the end of the week, then maybe get the spokes painted gunmetal grey or some kind of dark silver??!
