  1. Ok I have been hinting on here for a wee while now about some new 16" E30 wheels that we are currently getting made. After being inundated with pm's I thought I would post them up. They will not be arriving for a few months, so it gives all you E30 guys plenty of time to save your pennies. I have no specific pricing yet but they will be under $1k for a set of 4.

    The specs are as follows:

    16x7 4x100/4x114.3 MultifitET20 approx 3.5" Dish

    16x8 4x100/4114.3 Multifit ET20 approx 4.5" Dish

    They are only available in the sizes listed above and will be Black with a machined dish. Prospective buyers will be able to purchase 7", 8" or combine the 2 for a staggered fit.

    Teaser pic below of the 8" wide wheel. That pic is a sample only and does not do the wheel justice. Ours will be 8 hole or 4 stud multifit as we will have them to fit some old school Jappas as well

    Cheers

  2. I am going through the same process at the moment and have basically narrowed it down to a late 90's VW Passat (IMO the look better than an Audi of the same generation) or a Ford Mondeo (01 on shape). I may also consider a Vectra, but am still a little bit unsure about them.


  3. Just a quick Q

    Did you buy the springs brand new or 2nd hand? The only reason I ask is that if you bought 2nd hand are you sure you didn't get 6 cylinder springs? The heavier spring from the 6 cylinder will lower your car less.


  4. At the end of the day you get what you pay for :)

    We always tell our customers to let the tyres "bed in" before driving "vigourously" :D Jib is pretty much on the money with his comments, however you will also find that the better tyre brands have a compund that is less conspicuous than their cheaper counterparts and tends to wear off a lot quicker.

    Give your Kingstars about 100km and they should get a lot better. TBH they are one of the better 'budget' brands around.


  5. Those first spacars are no longer able to be certified. New laws state that they must be hubcentric against the hub and the wheel if that makes sense. You can still use locating rings either side to achieve this. They must also have a spigot on the stud side to allow a wheel to be located centrally ( like the gold ones in the 2nd link) :)
