Title: Show off your rims - (also, what rim size is preferred)?
Post by: Cobra Jet on July 17, 2008, 09:17:50 AM

Just curious to see what rims everyone has chosen for their M42...  :)

Also, what rim size is preferred on an E30?  

Do most stick w/ the stock 14/15" or go larger?  I have looked at quite a few different rim styles, but still not sure if I should chose a stock size rim or bump up to a 16"... which would be better?  I'm thinking that if going up to a 16", there's more cost for the actual rims & then the cost of 16" tires as well...

I'm going with 15" when I get some for good tire prices and performance. 16" is the largest I'd say on an e30 for visual style, but everyone is different.

I love em.

I think they are Torque Development rims, but I can't find them on their website.

I also can't upload photos to the website to show you.

Rims I plan on purchasing are 16x7 because you get better tire choices.

I am running a 17" BBS RX wheel, with 215/40/17 tires.  I will snap a picture in a few.

I really like the euro 15 basket-weaves, otherwise I would suggest a 16" wheel I think, although I love how mine look.

Post by: nomad on November 12, 2008, 01:26:20 AM

thanks

I have vogtland springs, Billy sports, Cabby front and M3 rear sway bars, powerflex offset CABs. New bushings and mounts. Just today I replaced the brake rotors, brake pads, fluid and front brake lines (OEM) today so I'm getting closer to the goal.

Still on the radar is:
e36 steering rack, tint, amp and sub, refinish wheels.
And there are always other things to mess with...

How do you like those sways Nomad?

Do you autoX or anything?

Title: Show off your rims - (also, what rim size is preferred)?
Post by: nomad on November 12, 2008, 08:30:14 PM

when i had time and money i autocrossed a Miata i had before the E30. I then bought the E30 to have in its place (to put a baby seat in the rear) so i've been building it for autocross with the hope i'll be able to get back into it. I just have no time anymore and with this economy I don't have the money.

Having said that, yes, I like the sways. It's stiffer in the rear but without a tight alignment yet I have push earlier than I prefer in the front. It corners flat though. The new wheels are heavier than the stock baskets and it is certainly felt, but they do give more grip. The rear will step out in the wet and if i really pound/fling it in tight corners but the car is certainly underpowered. I'd like more power (who doesn't) but I've always been a momentum/handling guy. I'm not sold on the E30 after having been in a well prepped Miata but it's getting closer than it was before.

i think a tighter steering ratio, more negative camber and a lighter wheel/tire combo will really help it out. That's just the autocrosser talking. For now though, It's good enough for a tight feeling daily driver.

Good info, thanks alot!

17x7.5 and 17x8.5 et41 DS2s (235/40 all around ... don't ask ... had them so I used them).

During this summer I really want to change them to 16s ... I want to be able to go lower and I also want more affordable tire choice as my camber is eating these fast. I might get 16x8 Style 5s from a e38

17" ProRace white from Team Dynamics... these are motorsport rims, a lot stiffer then their street/show rims.

the attachment is a photoshop, i'll get them within 2 weeks.
235/40 tires allround... by italian law :-(

Style 68 R17 M3 Rims, most of these are E30 but I figured I'd chime in.

Kilawin, those style 5's take the prize.

16"x7"(http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp42/alpinerob/100_0358.jpg)

These are what I want.  What are they?

Imho, 16" rims are perfect for e30.  Big enough that they look modern, but not so big they look inappropriate.

finally arrived (waited 7months):
Team Dynamics, ProRace 2.1 with white finish.

(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs056.ash2/36184_1618914083707_1562041621_31508794_7877573_n.jpg)

better pics will follow, fitted them only last night.
i think it would serious cool when 1: got decent sized brakes... and 2: the car is lowered 2cm (not more due to bad italian roads)
