Yet another "what alloys are these"? thread :)

[Tom_]

So, What alloys are they? I think they are Work racing (or something like that) alloys, commonly fitted to japs and things I think? But does anyone know? Again, I think its running 8js F&R on it, i know its got 225/50s on it front and rear.

I must have these wheels...

could be old compomotives ?

rota?

I thought these but no they're not

[Tom_]

Im pretty sure they are some kinda jap wheel, Im pretty sure Iv seen them on japs before, just cant find them

[Tom_]

Rota slipstreams! (I think?)

[Barx325i]

hold on they mught me after all - they do a deeper offset et20 which has that dep centre like the ones pictured

I think the silver on there is et 40

here they are rota slipstreams

Aha, cheers guys, now are they 15s? or 16s? Im assuming there D(as i dont know the diameter..)x8J with the 40mm offset? Or the 48mm offset? Im suprised they sit under the arches so well!

[Barx325i]

the four in your pic are 15's, you can read the dimensions on them

the ones in your first post look like 15's too.. Plus looking at that chart, the available offset and width combination is pretty naff for the e30 4x100 so chances are they are 15's,

16 x 6.5 4 x 100 +45
16 x 6.5 4 x 100 +40
16 x 6.5 4 x 100 +26
16 x 7 4 x 100 +40
16 x 7 4 x 100 +0
16 x 7 4 x 100 +45
16 x 8 4 x 100 +20

Cheers

Ahhh cock, was hoping i could get some wide 16s for mine

EDIT: seems they do come in good offset in 16 aswell

16 x 8 4 x 100 +48
16 x 8 4 x 100 +40
16 x 8 4 x 100 +34

you need the lower offsets for an e30.

the 16x7 et 0 'should' work ok, will probably need a bit of archwork, but will give a nice wide stance

the 16x8 et 20 again should be ok, plenty of people using 8x16s with lower offsets. might be pretty close to the strut at the front though, so there's a chance you might need a small spacer.
