best wheels for e30

[motorsport]

Oh dear, someone trying to tell people how to personalise their own cars. I wonder how much my car has reduced in its value since I have fitted new 18" Alpina reps with brand new tyres and kept a set of the original BBS aside.
I can understand when a car looks like it's been driven through Halfords window and evertyhing has stuck to it.
But a nice new set of wheels/clear indicators which are simple easily reversible personal mods.
Get a grip.
Pics of both, I prefer the 18" as they have the same radius but less tyre wall and thus appear to fill out the arches better. Granted they are also 8J.
However BBS still look the part but a little dated. If the E30 was manufactured now, would BMW fit larger alloys like the rest of its line up....???
Each to their own
Maybe you simply meant to say BBS, the same as 'orangecurry', without having a go at other peoples opinion/choice of wheel.

except the bit about Klaus being a cool name; it's not is it?

was going to be the name of my first born until you mentioned that, wasn't a ''Klaus'' one of the baddies in Die Hard ???

one of my favorite films; apart from the shiney suits, that film doesn't date.

Chief baddie (who people say I look like!) was Hans, but the psychopath was called Karl;

Me (sorry) Hans: 'Schiest dem fenster' (spelling?)
Karl: 'huh?'
Hans: 'Shoot the glass'

classic

Karl thats right!! thought it was Kluaus,
and shiney suits are still in here, normally worn by Egyptian ''business men'' who combine the look with cheap patent leather shoes, i do like them!!

Theres no ACS wheels in there! cool link tho

[padi]

Thats a superb link, has anyone got any pics of porsche turbo wheels on there e30??? Always wondered what theyd look like.

[Cotty]

sorry, but i dislike Hartge rims.

Hey thats cool im not asking people to like Hartge wheels, we are all different, its what keeps this place the modifying scene in general interesting.

If we all had the same wheels and same mods it would be boring

[Cotty]

hi people get my e30 back from paint in a 2 weeks time and want to get some new wheels .what wheels suit the e30 the best sugestions please with pics if poss

Come on then, lots of suggestions, what do YOU like.

[l4ume]

I have 17"alpina reps at present i love the deep dish bbs rims to fit them do i need to change everything to 5 stud fitting . if so how do i do this is it e36 compact rear beam and front hubs?

[riklusby]

These rims look like Brock B1 s, they were popular on E30,s in Germany. sometimes they can be picked up on German ebay for a song.



Just looked up the schaulies site and they reckon they can put together the size of wheels you want on a 4 stud ??? im going to e-mail them and see if they can do me a set of 9x16 and 11x16 .......

They are Brock B1's, how about these;



A bit modern but would look good powder coated black!!

Or if you have 5 stud hubs;



Good old Foose!!

[bobe30]

you get bbs split rims from mk2 vw gti's that are same 4 stud pattern for bmw....but higher offset of about 35...
come in 14'' and 15'' rims....mk2 G60 edition 1 came with them as standard....so worth checking vw scene for bbs deep dish splits....for ur 4 stud E30's.....

personal favorite wheel would be a set of MiM 1900's multi spoke deep dish ET25

[MarkP]

I know the ideal offset for the E30 is 25, would the higher offset of 35 make the wheel sit out from the car more or make it sit further into the arch?

I like the 17inch E36 motorsport replicas on an E30.

[Hyperion]

Hi MarkP
No the higher the offset number the more "closer" the wheel will sit to the inside. That is why 20-25 offset is good for the e30. But saying that certain styles of wheels with a 30 - 35 offset will fit an e30. To check you will need to put the wheel onto the front hub to see if they will hit the brake Calipers. if the clear the brakes then you can fit them.

[staffy]

them deep dish bbs r something else I WANT but for now i have rh topline 7.5x17 an 15 " bbs the toplines where my favorite for the e30 although u always get the "are they mercedes wheels" which pisses me right off

[BadDave]

FWIW
Either Alpina
Hartge
Or
Slit rim BBS
Nuff said
