Has anyone tried these OZ Racing Super Turismo GT Wheelson their beemer?

They seem similar to the Alpinas, but seeing as I don't have an Alpina.....

What do you think and what wheel ofset would I need? I am thinking 15" rather than anything bigger and may lower the car with the H&Rs from the shop by 35mm (I think). What shocks would go well with the H &Rs?

I had these wheels on an E30 last year. I had 15" rims and got them cheap at Halfords with tyres.

Will post some pics up tomorrow when I download them off my hard disk.

:cool:

Thanks Mahmood, looks really good, and I think really suits the e30. Similar to the Alpinas but different enough. What size did you get and were they the correct fitment, and what tyres did you have? How much did you lower it by and which springs and shocks? Did it handle ok?
Sorry for all the questions but really interested. :)

Hi e30bmlover, my 320iSE has I think the Mtech 1 body kit of rear spolier and side skirts and teh mtech 1 steering wheel and illuminated gear knob. There are headlamp wash and wipers on it but they need fixing as they are disabled at the moment. Can you post some pics of yours I'm interested in the front lip spoiler. When I first bought this car in 2000 it was missing the lip spoiler and I bought the black one form Euro car parts cost me nearly £50 then I think. Sold the car to a freind a year later and have only just got her back a couple of weeks ago. I wanna do some mods but in keeping with the class of the e30.
I have just had an mtech 2 wheel arrive in the post from ebay, I paid £78 probably too much, but it is MINT condition.

Looks great but the wheels are a little on the small side.

Yes, all you boyz with 17/18 + rims will say they are small :roll:

On reflection, yes, you may be right.

As they say in this months issue of EVO "...Rimming has never been so fashionable" :eek:

Anyway, I was an E30 newbie...times have changed winkeye

I thought they looked OK and I wanted something different at the time. They were 15" and the correct fitment with no spacers. Not sure what tyres I had but they weren't cheapies! It was lowered 40mm all round on Venturi springs from ECP.

It handled as well as any 318i with a Zone chip, S/S exhaust and K & N filter does.

I sold it to buy a 325i Sport as I wanted a 6 pot. I have sold that also :cry:
