Exterior / Fender flare replacement???

« on: August 14, 2012, 12:25:05 PM »

I just got off the phone with the guy, he said fender flares were due to the previous owner having wider tires on it, he also said his bottom dollar is $2,500. I agree it's got some obvious issues but I'm gonna atleast go give it a look over in person and see if the mechanicals are decent. Thanks for the input.

Exterior / Fender flare replacement???

« on: August 14, 2012, 10:41:06 AM »

Hi all, it's been awhile since I've posted on here, but I thought I could maybe get some insight on a car that I'm looking at possibly purchasing this weekend. It looks incredibly clean inside and out except that it looks like someone hacked off the rear fender lips (maybe for flares??). Honestly if it were any other car I'd probably just walk away, but this car seems too nice to pass up. Any thoughts on what it'd be like to get this fixed? Difficulty? Cost? Any input is greatly appreciated, and I realize it's a 325is, but I figured one of the upper members or maybe some of the body guys on here could help. Here's a link:

Exterior / 15" basket-weaves?

« on: November 05, 2011, 03:07:10 PM »

Ok so, after some searching around I found a site that appears to carry the euroweaves, the offsets are very similar, same bolt pattern, but the widths seem a bit off(6.5 and 7.5), sounds more like the Ronal versions, but the prices look great. Anyone familiar with this place? http://www.originalwheels.com/bmw-wheels/325i1990rims.php

deansweet- great looking 944! mine's also Guards Red with the phone dials, it could use a respray though...

Those euroweaves on r3v look to be a pretty good deal, I just need to look into shipping costs. I'm familiar with the ESM weaves, little bit pricey though unless I can find a used set, thanks again guys.

Thanks all, it's a shame I cant find anything other than the iX wheels here in the U.S, I guess I'll just be keeping an eye out for those or other alternatives, I kinda like the look of the 16" Rota RB's, but we'll see.

ose30, I do in fact have an '86 NA, probably one of the few cars I've driven that handles better than an e30(imo), makes it hard to decide which one I want to spend the upgrade money on haha. Have you had the same 951 the last 11 years? Done any upgrades on it?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, but recently got a '91 318is, my second e30 in the last 2 years. Anyways, my question regards getting new wheels for it. It currently runs the 14" basket-weaves, and to my knowledge pretty much all the e30's ran R14's (save for the M3), but I have seen pictures around of these cars with a R15 4x100 basket-weave. Does anyone have anymore info on these wheels? Availability? Any and all help is appreciated. Glad to finally be a member of this great forum!
