    BBS basketweave ID help

    Hey guys, got some replacement wheels for my e21, and what i thought were normal e30 basketweaves have some funky specs.. the basketweaves on my car are lemmers et30 4x100 6.5x14, but apparently the wheels I got are BBS 6.5x14 et35.. Anyone have any idea what they're off of? I really can't find much info about these 35 offsets, and they were painted over pretty thick so I can't really see anything on the wheel without scraping it all off.. I found a lot on 'bbs rz 378' but those are 15x7, and I'm guessing these are 388, which I can't really find anything on..

    does it say bmw on those things anywhere ? i'm guessing you have the vw version with a fwd offset.

    hey nah it doesn't look like it. is there a list of bbs production wheels in their different specs somewhere? I checked http://wheelslist.euroscene.net/index.php?pcdf=4x100 for vw wheels but couldn't find anything, but I'm not convinced that's a comprehensive list.

    have found a few other forum posts mentioning the same spec wheels, but not many. the only one that seems to have any info is https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...k-on-the-318is post #8, but the link he cited is dead... is that info about them being off a 325is right..?

    bottlecaps and steelies were et35 but they were 5.5 and 6 inches not 6.5. style 5 6.5 basket weaves were et30. vw basket weaves were et38 and et 35.
