I Got Compomotive to make me a set of Rims for the E30 their 8x17 Th 1780 Monos in sparkle Silver,

Bit of a one off in 4x100 e30 fitment i think they suit the car as their an old skool rim, I know they wont be to every 1's taste but After selling the Toplnes i needed something Different,

What are your opinions?? Good or Bad winkeye

Some pics, (must polish the car and take better ones)

I Got them Done in Sparkle Silver they have a metalic flake in them and look great when the sunlight hits them,
I Wanted them Diamond cut but they no longer provide that service,

I don't like them much, have a bit of mixed feelings. I kind of think they look more like hub caps than rims

thats what i thought, rims do look old school and would suit some non tech 2/standard e30`s chromies etc, but dont look right on that car in that color for me im afraid, might suit a tech 2 better if it was white, but not red

I love them but think they would a more race/track based e30.

What offset are they ? and how much were they (if you don't mind me asking).

the wheels are one of my all time favourites, especially in the wide low offset you have with deep recessed centre.
cheers,

Love the wheels but somehow something doesn't look quite right, think it's the colour combo for me.

Are these the same wheels as on Dans 320iS, just in a different size/ET?

Yep thats what i have, They do look Brilliant standing beside the car and its hard to see the metalic flake in the paint from those pictures, Im Going to get spacers on the rear to bring them out a bit, possibly would look better on a black car but for the moment i like them winkeye

The size of these are 8x17' 4x100 ET 26 They will make them to any spec you want, just cough up the readys winkeye

Ive my car on Coilovers so intend to wind it down just a tad more, i cant go much lower with the coustom exhaust as ive moved the rear silencers closer to the rear axel for clearance, the front can come down a bit more tho, just hard to get it out of my Driveway then :o:

Nice, although they need to be spaced out a little bit in my opinion. Do you know how much each wheel weighed without a tyre?
