Help me find some cheap wheels..

[JCapelo]

Alright guys, Im looking for some cheap wheels to dress my car up a little bit..

I dont wanna spend anymore then 1,000 and thats rims and tires....

16's 17s or 18's.....

New or used let me know what you guys can come up with. :thanks:

[kelso]

dont you have some contours? just buy 2 more of them?

[Variance]

Kelso, he's been trying to for a while, but you don't find pairs of contours often. It seems that they're pretty much always sold as a full set.

Jeff, any particular style you're looking for? Would be easier to narrow it down if I were looking specifically for 5-spoke, mesh, multi-spoke, etc. wheels.

[kelso]

true...

get the ones off of the black m3 being parted... just give him some spare wheels to keep the car drivable until the engine gets torn out and then take those wheels back. or i think bavauto sells replicas

[JCapelo]

Im not sure really......show me what you think would look good on my car?

maybee something powedercoated with a polished lip, or wutever....doesnt really matter....show me what you can find.

If you can find me contours a decent price ill get those.....but im not paying 250 for 1 used wheel

[kelso]

ill keep my eyes out

[SlickShift]

I'll look around online. :)

[JCapelo]

thank you...

[collin41899]

i searched ebay forever till i found my rims...17x7.5 front 17x8.5 rear 330 sport rims with brand new pirelli p zero nero tires for...600$!!!!! i knew i wouldnt be able to beat this deal

[JCapelo]

Im thinking i might go with the Csl replicas.....But not sure


somebody show me some rims

[LDadrenaline]

i think the csl replicas look good, but jeff i would highly recommend not getting them. The way you tear it up, you need some good, strong wheels. A set of cheap rims wont hold up i dont think

[Mr.bimmerPuck]

^^^^ i agree 100% lol JEFF does like to tear it up Lol

[LDadrenaline]

i can picture the lip coming off the spokes like the tire did off the wheel in the circle drifting video....

[JCapelo]

Question is, how much are they a set for E36-fitment reps?

[Myee]

They have a bunch on Ebay all from the same place.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-8-9-5-Chrome-Bmw-5-6-7-8-series-530-540-740-wheels_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43958QQihZ019QQi temZ290022025676QQrdZ1

[944attack]

does the e36 have the same bolt pattern and offset as any other bmw's or any other cars?

[944attack]

old school time.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-e30-m3-BBS-wheels-rims-5x120-basketweaves_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ66481QQihZ 018QQitemZ280021605956QQrdZ1

will these fit?

[Variance]

The E36 has the same bolt pattern as other BMWs, but the offset is different. The E36 uses around a 40 mm offset, as compared to the ~25 mm of the 5 series and such.

Edit-And Myee, those would'nt even get close to fitting. Jeff could maybe run four fronts with stretched tires and rolled fenders.

[Myee]

The silver E36 at the end of page 1 is running fronts 18x8 +13 with 225, rears 18x9.5 +25 with 235. I know it took some modification on the wheel wells and minor fender rolling to make fit, along with tires that are about as narrow as can safely fit.

If you were to get wheels with "e36" +40 offset, wouldn't they sit inside the fender leaving some to be desired? Something like the mesh basket weaves above- 7 inches wide +30, wouldn't that sit inside the fender like OEM ?

Ideally Id like to find wheels that fit super perfect flush with fenders and didn't require much if any modification to the fenders/wheel wells.

[JCapelo]

anything else???? right now its looking like csls

[Variance]

Jeff, I looked around, but it seems that the wheel market is currently "blah" for some reason. The pickings on ebay are typically pretty good, but I wasn't able to find too much.

Myee, my LTW reps are +38 I believe, and they fill in the fenders quite nicely, I think. A bit hard to tell with my stock suspension, but maybe I'll grab some pics for you later.

[The Weiner]

you can have my roadstars when i get my new wheels tire are maybe 70% 17x8 17x9

ps roadstars are my coupe/m roady wheels.. i think you would need to roll the fenders but you should do that anyway

[Variance]

Sean, I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure that the rears won't fit on his car even with the fenders rolled.

[SlickShift]

Sean, did you put M3 rears on your car, or are they all fronts?

[kelso]

get the ones that were on the modbargains link

[944attack]

eh dont get face rims like the csl's or whatever theyre called, get rims with a nice chrome dish, you'll be much more satisfied.

[JCapelo]

I wont have them long....I need something to have on the car so i can sell it

[LDadrenaline]

ooooh that makes sense.... get some hot baller rims off ebay then

[944attack]

haha well then, all you need to get is some rims like this, and your car would be sold in a heart beat!

super cheap deal too ^ :lol:

[The Weiner]

Sean, did you put M3 rears on your car, or are they all fronts?


my e46 had oem m3 fronts and rears .... but before that my 19's were an m3 offset and they were 10.5" in the rear. and my car was dropped ..... i did alot of things on that car just because everyone swore that they could'nt be done.... like m3 offset in the rear, nothing larger then 9.5 i went 10.5 with a 285 tire, m3 exhaust, m3 gauge cluster.. ect.. anything is possible if you have the time/skill/money

[944attack]

so, what if you only have the time and skill part?

[The Weiner]

Sean, I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure that the rears won't fit on his car even with the fenders rolled.


and yes they will fit if the car is slammed it might rub the the offset isnt to agressive.... i know they will work as i had them on my old e36 m3 many years back:D

[JCapelo]

[SlickShift]

weeeee

[LDadrenaline]

doesnt seem any different than what you normally do lol

[JCapelo]

doesnt seem any different than what you normally do lol


Ya but the spares are sooo much lighter....and the back end comes out way easier, catches me off gaurd sometimes:lol:

[LDadrenaline]

maybe that is a sign that you should go a little slower around those turns then :)

[JCapelo]

When i go to fast you will see the thread "I Went to fast ****ed my car up"

[LDadrenaline]

or we can come visit you in the hospital.... meghan and i can both vouch that its not cool

[JCapelo]

ya something like that.

[kelso]

what happened to the 2 countours? id be rockin htose instead of spares... no tires im guessing?

[JCapelo]

david A burned my tires off them...

[kelso]

lol yea i figured they were used in the video but wasnt sure.

[TheDarkSide]

17's are the highest I would go on an E36 :dunno: Just me.

[kelso]

same with me... 18's are a bit much, 16's are just one calorie, not evil enough

[TheDarkSide]

Jeff, post some pics of the other ones you sent me with black wheels.

[the Tanned One]
