    What are these? BBS wheel question...

    What are these? They look perfect for an e30 with different tires...

    BBS RX (about the same as BMW's style 42)

    Wrong bolt pattern and to high ET for E30's.
    Right pattern for E30 M3's but wrong ET.


    EDIT: Or are they really RX's(?), angles look a little fishy. Looks like the rims Volvo S40/V40 came with.

    1 dead e30 :(
    they are five lug, and will need spacers. They will not work unless you have a 5 lug conversion, are putting this on an e30 M, or are ballsy/stupid enough to run a 4x100 to 5x120 (or whatever bolt pattern those are) spacer.


    That being said, I think they would look really good on an e30, although they look to be 14s or 15s. If I bought wheels I would go with 16s unless I was buying basketweaves and could not find some 16" weaves.

    They are 16's but not being a 3-series guy (yet) I forgot the e30 was a 4x100. These wheels are for sale locally and was curious what the hell a 5x120 with 40 offset fit with such a big tire.

    what, you mean these? i picked these up locally for cheap...


    they are rx-1's off of a vw. they came stock on 1995 jetta vr6's. the 94 wheels (i owned a 94 for about 3 years) are similar, they have a cover for the lug bolts.

    EDIT- i am wrong, if they're 16's they were not off of an early mk3 jetta. wtf... what are they off of? now im very curious.

    The rims would fit E36's, E46's and Z3's. With that tire E46's are closest on hand.
