does anybody know what sizes they came in?

i hear people talk about big wheel, small wheel, 370mm and all sorts, but i dont know what size the small wheel is, and what size the big wheel is...

so if anyone can tell me, i'd appreciate it!!

also, im using a Tech 1 wheel at the moment, so does anyone know what size that is? just so i can relate it to the size Tech 2 wheels

cheers guys...

They come in 370 and 385 measurements. The tech 1's are the same, but the smaller ones are pretty rare.

i've only ever seen 1 tech small wheel ever!

smaller tech 2's only fitted to E30's. The bigger ones are off e34 M5 and other e34 sport models

Right, i've had both tech 2 wheels, and the smaller of the two is far superior.

Unfortunately not - I assume you're talking about the "near mint" one the guy wanted £60 for?

I thought it was just a bit too much for a Tech I, though if they're that rare maybe I should've had it :?

if it was mint then £60 would have got me thinking about it.

U can thank Ebay for killing the value of tech 1 wheels. I have a mint one off my old sport no point selling it now
