New Wheels

[///MHamannAC]

Hey guys i was just about to but new wheels and wanted to know what some good ones to get were. I was looking at the BBS RC (Which i really like) and other BBS wheels, but i just wanted a little input on what wheels(and what sizes) would be a good match for my 1991 318iS.

you mean the BBS rims that EVERYONE has? well, if you like them, go ahead.

personally, I like something differrent, that's why I got the Enkei NT-03's... if they're strong enough for the JGTCC Endless R34 Skyline, they're good enough for me.

it all depends on how much you have to spend, what size, and whether you care about weight.

[///MHamannAC]

What size did you buy and how much do they weigh?

[Darien28]

i have 16x7's and they're about 16lbs ea, and they were realatively cheap when compared to other makes. Also, the NT-03 is one of very few Enkei USA wheels that are the same as the jdm enkei company's.

I also like Enkei's rpm-2 wheels, whic weigh under 17lbs for a 17x7 wheel. these remind me of teh bbs LM wheel.

anyways, yeah... that's it. good luck with your rim search.

since you've got a 318is, the lighter the better. big heavy ass wheels will not help performance much at all.

I'd try to find a nice set of lightweight 15s, thats just me though

rota sub-zero's...

[Rob ITR1035]

I doubt they have them in a E30 specific offset

[Darien28]

that's what spacers are for.

Spacers are sorta pricey

[Rob ITR1035]

if thats how you want to roll....

[Darien28]

depends on the spacer. I have custom hubcentric spacers and they were 200 for all 4 w/ bolts.

you might want to contact wheel manufacturers to see if tehy can make you a custom offset iff you don't see one that you like.
