help needed with wheels.

[Shaheenk]

So finally back in Sa, I thought my car could do with a new set of wheels. Being the lazy sod I am I went off to see a few "dealers".

the one guy had an awesome set of Alpina's and some BBS replicas.

now the problem is this, the Alpina's are staggered fitment, but the fronts will not clear my calipers and sit too far out. the BBS replica does not do it for me. Have a look at the pics and advise, I think the Alpina's are the dog's danglies however I also think they are a 5series offset.

oh and my hibs are 5 hole so I dont have an issue there. If anyone knows of a set of BBS which will clear the Wilwood calpiers I have , please let me know as well.









they stuck on a spacer to get the front on, I really want an alpina now

[ali50ferrari]

these without a doubt !

[steviebmw]

those wheels look well good

[Jhonno]

Alpina's ftw!

[Shaheenk]

but none of them fit without the need for a spacer, these are all ET20's , I need an ET36 to clear the front calipers......

[ali50ferrari]

Basically you have e36 hub setup or e30 m3 hub setup? either way you have quite a wide selection of wheels to choose if you have either one of those hubs. . . . What ones do you have?

[MurphyE30]

both look nice

Alpinas FTW though what wrong with using the spacers they have put on?

[Shaheenk]

I have a hybrid setup with M3 hubs in E30 spindles this coupled with Wilwood Calpiers on very large brakes makes the offset a ET35.

i was happy going with the Alpinas but and this is a huuuuuge but , they need a 16mm spacer to fit and this pushes them out too far.

Some more pics







PS , am I the only one getting invalid session when replying

Both look well nice but bbs ftw

What bbs replicas are they? They don't look like lensos

[Jim320i]

Alpinas

instead of putting replica bbs, why not just get Style 5???
