Could we see "Split Rim Bottletops"?????

[e30topless]

How are they Steve, ??

These would look on a chromie

lets just say it's each to their own Rav

[leeparkes]

Have you been given a bottletop yet?

[Rav335uk]

No, no time yet to go round the scrappies, you got one???

[leeparkes]

Yes but no

[Rav335uk]

What you mean "Yes, but No",You not hoarding them are u?

[Blitz]

[m_jermyn]

Now we are talking.....

[Blitz]

I'm thinking gold centre with gold bolts.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Bottletops look good imo because there subtle, understated and classic looking, so making them dished, polished and shiny is besides that.

Stick 'em on a hard slammed turd, with coilovers and you'll look a **** as soon as you start driving the thing, as your being slammed about when you go over any imperfection in the road surface, going incredibly slow round any corner because of your stupid wheels that constantly scrub on the arches, and the sidewalls may just give up at any point because you thought streching your tyres was a good idea.

Just an utter, huge, rediculous, massivle FAIL.

[Rav335uk]

Ollie, you have much too learn yet about lowering a car properly and pulling of the look.

[CHR1S1990]

shame you're so far away as I have quite a few sets of these and agree, would look cool if it is possible

[m_jermyn]

Just came across these..



They look nice

[CHR1S1990]

Schmit TH-Line's ^

[Jim320i]

Ollie is gonna hate this if it takes off as it means bottletops will start going up in price and if they dont, rav's gonna buy them all and them sell them for a huge profit.


How much we looking at rav if you can pull this off?

And would they still be 14's? or are you able to change that with a new dish on? I dont know how it works you see...


Also, does that mean it can be done to a standard bbs wheel?

[Rav335uk]

Jim
it'll depend on what we can get the centr size too, i still haven't got hold of a bottle top as yet, but i have rs dishes lying around here, so we'll see what happens.

There is no costing atm either.

[Jim320i]

Hmmm... I will have a word with a friend of mine who brought my 6 of me and see if he has the other 2 sitting around. Only over in Leicester M69 junction 2 I think so not far from one and other anyway.

But let me find out first.

[Jim320i]

He said you can use one to try it out rav. He needs to sort it out first though and bring it up to me so not yet.

Weekend most likely.

So, if you wanna pick it up from me at some point after that, that would be cool.

Post code is LE9 7SE just for your reference to see if its close enough.


He said though... He wants a set if you can pull it off at a discounted price.

Maybe the first tester set for free apart from obvious materials like the rims... Then you have something to show case.

Your not that far Jim, by Hinkley, will pm you on Sat night, might fly down on Sunday to grab the wheel from you.

[Jim320i]

Nice one mate. Will get him to bring it over Saturday or tomorrow or something so it should be here.

[Rav335uk]

[Jim320i]

Its here mate for the taking. Didnt get a message from you though.


I'm in most of the day pal so pm me if you still coming.

[Rav335uk]

Yea Jim, still coming up, be about 2pm.
PM me your contact number and addy.

[Jim320i]

Ok mate, pm on its way.

Just popping out to Leicester to see my dad, but will be back by then anyway

[Rav335uk]

Got it jim

[leeparkes]

Have you got cracking with this yet Rav?

[Jim320i]

I had forgot about this... Any updates?

Ollie- I thought you were relatively young ?- this is the opinion of someone the age of my granddad.

You can make a very low car without a huge impact in ride quality with the use of good quality components (with in reason) and correct spring rates. My colleague's e30 is approx an inch off the floor using BC coilovers and the ride quality is very good.

As rav says you have a lot to learn, rather than regurgitating something you have read.

Back on topic.

This could look awesome but as stated you could just buy some schmidt th lines.

[leeparkes]

Where's Rav

[ImysE30]

I think his missus has found receipts

[leeparkes]

[chopper]

[ImysE30]

Pic's?

[Rav335uk]

None yet
