Groupbuy - Sportmax wheels

[JiB 0]

Last chance: Thursday 8th May

As above. I'm gauging interest on how many of you might like some new wheels for your e30. The price should hopefully be well under NZ$685 for a set of four.

16x8

ET15 offset

Multistud 4x100 & 4x114.3

scroll down for pics

These are from the US.

I need to know ASAP

So either reply to this thread or PM me.

If I'm not allowed to organise groupbuys, then can admin take this thread down. Cheers.

Warning:

Compared to bottlecaps they will REDUCE the inner clearance by 5mm. AND stick out another 45mm. So be prepared to roll/pull your guards.

is that the only style? i have seen another one

The ones that look like these?

These come in 0p which need stretched tyres, rolled/pulled guards and MASSIVE camber to fit under the guards. They'd stick out another 60mm than factory!

Driftit on here runs the 15x8 version and he's running something like 3deg neg camber?

oooooh yuup thats them...

There hot, and cheap

[Driftit 2078]

And light. Good quality too.

If you do go to the extreme and get the 15x8's they will look like this

I like that last pic

Dan, your car looks choice as usual.

I can vouch for light! the 16x8 Sportmax's I handled weren't much heavier than my 16x8 Advan RGs!

Oosh i could be keen on a set of 15x8's!!

do they have different offsets?

ive seen some guys on honda-tech slammin their egs on them.

so its possible to do on my eg 195s streched, rolled guards, sacked and camber to clear guards

could u get me a price on the above.

So far I'm still waiting for prices on the 16x8 et15's.

Have a couple of people interested in the 15x8, but only in et0. Will update as appropriate.

Sweet man will be very interested if you can get a set of 15's depending on suitable offset!!

Cheers mate. Well, hopefully we get enough numbers, need 4 people minimum...just myself so far .

For the record, I am not making any money off this at all, I just thought some might like the oppurtunity to get some wheels that actually fit E30's.

I can't believe you haven't had more interest. Seems like whenever theres an opportunity no1 is keen, and when theres nothing going everyone is keen...

Best of luck! I would buy some but they aren't my style

Edit: When compared to the price of 15" weaves at the moment...these are cheap

we have just had contact with the factory that makes these wheels!! Unfortunately to get them made we have to do minimum 100 pieces at a time in one colur, pcd and offset. My boss is working on a stocklist to see if they have any lying around and that we could buy.

We also have 15*7 et20 wheels arriving end of this month!! primarily for E30 race class, but will post a pic up as soon as I find one!!

[JiB 0]

Just to update, we are in the long process of finalising orders now. I am also a little disappointed at the lack of reponse.

May have 15x7 et15 as well, finding out by tonight.

Heres a fresh pick of the wheels, this guys used 225/50/16s personally i think 225/45/16s look better

Haha, I think they look pretty good. You seem to be advertising them a lot more vigorously than I am. You sure you're not interested in a set?

Hmm, 225/50/16 is HUGE for an e30! Your speedo would be out by a bit, not to mention trying to fit them under the arches. I'd be surprised if it didn't rub on EVERYTHING

......Although....I do have some Potenza 225/50/16s in the shed Might give it a try on the E30 before giving them to mum

[drifty325i 0]

Id love a spare set but just cant justify it at the moment sucks.

I like the look of the 50's, esp. if it was a pre-FL as they fill the guards a lot better.

Personally I'd run 245/45's but have the power to justify it
