And also if anyone has any pictures with these kind of reps on.

Cheers.

No mention of manufacturer that I can see and suspiciously cheap, I'd avoid.

[Stevieabz]

Would you happen to know a decent manufacturer of BBS RS reps? It's all I need in life but no way am I spending a few K on wheels.

[brian_s]

My friend has a set of dare rs, bbs reps on his Silvia they seem to be decent enough for the money, should check them out.

Look for "Calibre" wheels., and i think they only do 17"

And "Koenig"

[Stevieabz]

Cheers man. I've just been looking and I'm so confused as to what they look like. I will get them if they look like these. I know there aren't any caps but they look hyper silver?

But if they look like what they look like on their site.. I'm not feeling it.

The silver looks matt and not nice. I guess I could paint them but I'm just confused as to how they look IRL.

Some on eBay look like this!

Such confused.

[Stevieabz]

Cheers Rav, on it.

[BHadley]

Quality varies, but bear in mind that copies will corrode under the lacquer finish faster than a BBS and refurbishment won't be cheap.

Quality costs.

Oh and avoid anything with bk racing on it ... Made of cheese and a waste of Money...
(I'm in the tyre trade, I don't deal with new rims but what we see after a couple of winters with the copies / cheapies is pretty poor)

[brian_s]

I see what you mean about the difference on dares website to actually on the black car, but my pals ones look just like they do on the black e30 so I wouldn't worry.

[Stevieabz]

Darn, that's not promising.

Haha, that's about the 100th bad thing I've heard about BK Racing now.. Staying faaaaar away.

In the tyre trade huh I need 4 205/40/16 £10 each

[Stevieabz]

Ah coool, that's good to hear. I can always send them back as well.

Anyone know of a good place to get dare wheels?

[brian_s]

Dare themselves, cut out the middle man.

Any pics of the car they're going on? You'll need to run low to pull them off properly.

[Rav335uk]

The link you have is for 15"......
If you're going 15" get yourself a set of BBS RM's 012's.

You can put a 2" dish up front, and a 3" dish for the rear.

Search for "Baz666" on here, his E30 was running a set. 8j fronts, and 9j rears

[Stevieabz]

Yeah I've got some pics, I'll up load in a sec.

But I think they'll fit perfectly.

When I got the car it has 60mm PI drop springs and it was way to low for my area.
I bought what I was told were the standard 325i Sport springs but got given the 325 springs. It's been stupidly high ever since.

Now i'm in in the middle of putting Apex 30mm drop springs. Already done the back and with 16's and low profiles it should sit an inch or two below the arches.

[Stevieabz]

This was when I first got her..





Then after the wrong springs got put in.. Just dont..



Eye brows are gone now..


No pics of it yet as I'm half way through the springs but its looking much much better. Just need 16's and I can die a happy man.

[BHadley]

Haha...
£10 will get you a very nice bmx tyre!

I hear "three " brand of tyre can be had for. £100 as 4, sideways Chinese style driving guaranteed!

[Stevieabz]

Haha!

I will honestly take 4 Chinese sideways tyres off you if you can sort that out.

[brian_s]

Looking good mate!

I run 16x9 cr7s et 15 with 215/40/16 all round with bilstein b4s and h&r springs and it sits too high! Coilovers or some b8s and custom springs are on the cards me thinks!

[BHadley]

I rather not sell them for road use, save them for the "drifters"

[brian_s]

You'll want 215 40 16 on the 16x9s by the way.

[Stevieabz]

Cheers!

Hmm yeah I don't think im REALLY going to get the stance I want with these shitty Apex spring and some 16's but I think it'll be better than both of the above for comfort (bumpy area) and looks.

But yeah.. looks like we both want something we can't afford! LIFE

[Stevieabz]

Yeah sweet, on the hunt for some very cheap 205/40/16 as we speak.

[Stevieabz]

But, But! slideout! I have my 15's for the road.. 16's for the track! please sell me 4 tyres for £100

[brian_s]

Eh?

[Stevieabz]

Sorry, speak for myself. I can't afford.

I have just put a set on my car
16x8 front
16x9 back
no issues or spacers etc
just rolled my back arches a bit
rubber is 205/45/16
if you can afford 205/40 is even better
I choose gold centre with my Claypso e30



All the best
