Any opinions on these, including will they fit?
16x7- 20 offset - 4x100

I like the lip.

the angular design would work well with the E-30's lines.

I thought so too. I was leaning toward the Ronal LS in spite of the PITA to clean factor because I like the lip. I am beginning to hear that Ronal is not the best on availability and delivery. These would be a fair compromise on the ease/easier cleaning and still have a lip.

I was wondering with the H&R sports springs and sport billies if clearance would be an issue, I think the 20 offset would fit without spacers. Man, I wish there was a store here that had them so I could tesst fit.

Keep the opinions coming.

What exactly are those wheels? I can't quite make out the name on the center cap. TSW? If so, which model?

Never mind, I found them. Interesting wheel. I wonder what they weigh?

They'll fit by the looks of it. They look pretty sweet. What are they going to run you?

Discount has them for $143. each. I think a set of LS got for a little more. Prolly run 205/45 but would like to have 215/40. Want to make sure clearance is not an issue.

Man, those seem hard to clean. You sure you don't want to get these? :p

Man, you know this is going to be a running joke as long as you're on this forum. Eversince you started up the clean wheels thread, I just can't resist anymore anytime you mention rims.

BTW, I think that size/offset would be perfect. I might get something with the same size coming straight from Germany.

LOL I knew it was coming. Just waiting for Clay to chime in. The rim thing has been fun but challenging. I think I am going toward a rim with lip. I have the Beyern 5s on the E46 and love the look.

But, I am leaning towards those 3 spokers!:eek:

So, rims from the fatherland. Tell us more!

Hey guys,

I want to get these rims. I have been wondering about the off set.

With a 20 offset would I need to get a spacer to bring them closer to the outside, ie, wider stance? And if yes to the spacer, how big? These rims are also available in a 40 offset, but is that even feasible?

I learned from the board that the idea offset is a 27.

BTW, what is the offset on the stock BBS 14s?

asubimmer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2007, 10:51:28 AM »

35 iirc?
