WIRE WHEELS ON MY E30 vert

[Droptop30]

Hey guys im very new to this very much a noob, but i just bought a 87 bmw 325i vert its dope as hell its the 4 lug wheels bottle caps on it, i really really want to put on some 15x8 reverse wire wheels but im scared to buy them becuase how can i be sure the bolt pattern will fit????? I know the wire wheels also use adapters but like i said im new to this im lost as to what lug patterns can work on my car ! Please help thanks!!

4x100 is the bolt pattern for the e30.

Don't put wire wheels on an e30. It's not an 85 Caprice.

Omg do it. These guys are just haters. It's gonna look sooo good.

Fun fact, 4x4" is almost exactly 4x100mm if you wanna try something from an old British car.



I 100% do not recommend this for a number of reasons, however.

Hahahguys im in cali cali bred i wanna put 72 spoke wires on it for a more classy look not like everyone else does putting racing rims or bbs rims and thanks!!

72 spoke wire wheels is not a classy look for an e30. That's a ghetto look and it's fine if you riding around in an 87 monte carlo low rider.

Everyone puts BBS RS on their e30s (including me, RS001, og, thank you very much) because that actually is a classy look for an e30. You can make the argument that BBS RS are played out and over priced and I'd agree with you. But they are a classy look.

It doesn't matter where you live. In LA you've got Casto Motorsports. Go check them out for inspiration.

A good compromise may be to chrome plate the spokes on a basketweave wheel and pretend they're wire spokes...

Thats cool i mean ur entitled to your opinion obviously you like to be like EVERYONE else, do you man but easy on what you calling ghetto thats not cool i come from lowriders and wire rims thays not ghetto its our heritage, adding my own taste on my own car with some 72 spoke deep dish wires is class as you see them on old jaguars and other higher end cars

I'm with you DropTop. It would be a pretty boring world if we all did to our E30's what everyone else did. At least we're not out there wrecking them at the race track. Not that there's anything wrong with that either. It just makes the values go up on the one's that are left. Are those "Supremes" on that E30? I love seeing the lowriders at the shows.

[Droptop30]

Thnx e30ses and not sure if your talkimg about the rims but im guessing he has dayton or mcleans on his e30 cuz thats a custom paint job im sure he has onlu the best wire wheels on his baby

Did you ever find a set? You don't need adapters, just get the 4x100 bolt pattern. Main issue with wire wheels is that they are heavy, and the offset is usually super low. Reverse offset means a negative offset. If you like the wheels sticking out 2 inches beyond the fender then that is fine, but a good compromise would be to find some in 15x7 or 15x8 and a positive offset. Even a 0 offset would be better than negative. Good luck finding a set. I've been looking for a set to have just to throw on every now and then for old times sake. I remember saving up and making payments for months to get a set of 13x7 double gold LA wire wheels to throw on a '88 Sentra. I laugh at it today but back then it was big ballin'.
