Wheels question

Post Fri Nov 10, 2017 5:09 pm

Hi,
I have been trying to contact Split_S, as he will know the answer, but no response as yet. I suspect he might be to busy working on his M3, or still enjoying his restored iS, to check his inbox.
Anyway, does anyone know the type/make and size of the wheels that were fitted to his iS when he first got it?
I don't know how to cut and paste a photo from another thread so if you don't mind can you have a look on the first page of his restoration thread and let me know if you recognise them and can advise what they are please.
I have checked the wheels page on wiki and this type are not shown as having been a BMW option, in Europe at least, for the E30.
I really like the look of them and once I know what they are I will see if I can pick up a set in the UK.
Thanks
Jim

Thanks Tedswagon for posting the photo from Split_S 's thread and thanks to Turtle design tech for identifying the wheels. Slight concern that they are made in China but I'm sure the build quality will be OK , though not as good as OEM wheels.
Next step is see if there is a UK distributor.
I have a set of 15" BBS on my iS and also have a set of bottletops and steels in the shed. I am getting a white 318 Lux early next year and it has 14" BBS on it and I thought these "new" wheels would look good on a white E30.

Thanks again
Jim
