For Sale / FS: 4 x Stock 14''x6.5'' BBS Basket Weaves With Tire

« on: September 23, 2011, 04:12:26 PM »

Hey thanks for the tip.  I actually googled what you mentioned because I couldn't figure it out and found it.  By the way, do you think the wheels are priced accordingly?  I found that $250+shipping doesn't sound too steep.
Thank you

For Sale / FS: 4 x Stock 14''x6.5'' BBS Basket Weaves With Tire

Hi, I am selling four stock wheels with tires that came with my 1991 BMW 318is.  Included are the four wheels, the tires that are already mounted, and four wheel caps.  Unfortunately, there is one piece missing for one of the caps that allow it to remain locked onto the wheel, thus preventing it from being used.  Pictures are Below.  All four wheels are in great condition, no curb rash, very healthy paint.  As for the tires, there is a lot of tread left, the tires themselves are relatively old, however not used as these rims haven't been used in a while.
I am looking for around $250 + Shipping.  





Please feel free to contact me through m42club private message, for more pictures, informations, offers, etc.

Hey I love what you've done to your car.  If you don't mind me asking, of what make are your side skirts?
Thank you

Exterior / Tire size?

Thank you, although I have already read that thread, and the countless others.  I ended up getting 205/50/16, not exactly what I wanted, but pretty close.  Thank you

Exterior / Tire size?

« on: January 11, 2011, 10:22:32 PM »

Hey guys I feel pretty stupid, but I've been looking up tire sizes for the wheels I'm getting and am coming up with a load I'd different answers.  The wheels are esm 002 16x7.5 with a20mm offset.  I'm having the most trouble calculating and figuring out what the true wheel width is from lip to lip and what the tire width should be accordingly.  I don't want to have a vertical sidewall our stretched tire, however I don't want it bulging over.           225/45/16 seems to be a close width, maybe too wide?  Any input is greatly appreciated, I'm so confused and stuck right now.
thank you for reading

Exterior / Will these fit? What offset should i look for?

Well thanks for all of your help.  I understand a lot more about e30 fitments and how to fit my car thanks to you guys.  I'm actually considering a different wheel now, same measurements however, a little more of an offset, however I will put 15mm spacers.  They look similar to the BBS LMs.  Black mesh, and polished lip.  I'll be sure to post pictures when I get them on.
Thank you

Thank you very much for your help.  Now for a pure aesthetic question...silver gloss?  Or black?
Thanks

Btw, I have an alpine white 91

Ok thanks, I'll probably end up getting yokohamas.  How about for the spacers, I've been looking at eibach, and do they need to have certain specifications I need to know about?
thank you

Nice threads, I have checked out the second one however the first one is new to me.  I'd prefer to have no rubbing whatsoever, however if I were to put say 215/40/16 on them, could I use them on my 318is without causing permanent damage?  If there would be rubbing, should I get 10mm spacers?  Thank you for your help, its really appreciated as I'm new to this.

I dont know how to post pictures to show you the car, but I'm thinking $5500 is too much so I probably wont buy it, thanks though.

That car seems pretty good Gerta, thanks for telling me, I'm really set on an e30 318is and alpine white is even better.
