Offset of the wheels would help

Not 100% sure, but I believe they are et 30.

Post Thu Dec 20, 2012 3:41 pm

can anyone help, as I'm collecting the wheels tomorrow and selling mine saturday, so dont want to find out they dont fit and leave the car on bricks.

I know... I should have been more organised and thought this all through properly first. I am a bloke though.

You should be ok with that offset. If you do have issues with calliper clearance then only small spacers will be needed.

How much did you pay for the toplines?

saw them on pistonheads if there the same ones. RH toplines look great on e30s especially dark coloured cars.

If you ever do refurb them i would definitely go for a diamond cut face as that would be the icing on the cake

Diamond cut you say ?

Cheers, been advised of this from someone else too. I got them off ebay, don't know if they were on pistonheads too, just had to have them, best wheels for the e30 in my opinion, closely followed by genuine bbs split rims

This gives you a taster of what your car will look like.. This is the e30 my mate bought and then ruined, which was then bought by a zoner who owned it 14years previously and decided to bring it back to health

that looks lush, plus mine will have the red leatherz rather than the beige innit.

been told these will fit with spacers on the 8j rears, thanks fal325i.

Post Thu Dec 20, 2012 8:11 pm

this is how it will actually look once i've fitted my side skirts pods and had a full respray

same colour exterior and seats as mine, obviously mine wont have the eyebrows or coloured kidney grill

removing metal from an already bendy piece of snot like an RH Bruvline Rim is not a good idea..

Am I missing something here? guess these arent highly regarded on here, I really like them and think they're a bit different. bbs plits would have been nice, maybe I'll get some of them next year sometime, do like these alot though. although havent got them on the car yet, in the premier inn in fareham at the moment.

Post Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:19 am

they're polished and I'm really pleased with them, nice clean condition, need a clean, then autoglym polish and i'll think they'll come up near enough as new

Post Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:25 am

If you have £2.5k you could buy my RS003's

lol, maybe next year rav, or when I rob a bank.

Hows yours coming along? Has it been in for the spray job yet?

What have you done to it over the last few months?

Post Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:30 am

Not alot done as I was waitin gthe the M30 head to come back after some porting.

Same as me I'm hoping to get mine sprayed february/march.

Still need to get the templates to get my pods and skirts on.

Post Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:33 am

whats your honest opinion on the rh toplines, are they a bit chavvy? I just like thm and think they're rare and a bit different, but I can understand why people may not like them.

I'll say it again, you do not need the template for the side skirts, it easy to do, and no way of making a c0ck up.
Th etemplate is a waste of time and money imo.

You like them, put them on.
But DO NOT have them diamond cut.

True, its my car I suppose and I like them, those bbs rs wheels are fooking nice mate, will you be rolling on them next year? When did you get them, they look like brand new have they been refurbished?

Have you fitted the pods/skirts without templates yourself? still want to do mine? p.s still got 2 sets of headlights for you.

Have a good xmas mate

Post Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:56 am

Yes, I do full refurbs on the side, done a few sets for ziners, last set I did was for Topless.

Fitted about 5 sets of skirts without templates including my own, ?Believe me, it's dead easy!!!

Won't be using the RS's on the chromie, I have a set of AC Scnitzers in 17" , and 18" I could use, but will bee using the 17" Hartge splits.

ok what so the bbs are for the cab and the hartges for the chromie, good choice you'll have 2 sweet e30's at the end of it. Can I come up january then for the skirts/pods to be fitted? I could always leave the car with you for a week or so.

I dont understnad how you mark and drill the holes when you cant get behind the skirt though?

You don't need to leave the car with me Matt, it'll take a few hours mate.

I would love to see behind your pods Rav. Ooo err!

RH Bruvlines are a cheap nasty Merc AMG replica wheel. Why anyone would want these on their E30 is beyond me IMO.
