New guy! Need rims to fit e28, please?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm new here :)

Just lucked in to a tidy, original '87 e28 and looking to kick off some mods with an upgrade in the rims/tyre department.

I'm after a set of plain 5x120 basket weave type wheels to fit my new daily. I understand 16x8 is a better fit than 16x7.

Any leads or advise appreciated for this noob!

The wheels you are looking for are from an e34 or e38 (probably e32 as well) and should be around et 20 (for the 16x8).

Sorted! Found a set of 17's to fit the e28, BBS RC-090. Stoked.

Now I can turn my energies to suspension upgrades.....

Thanks guys!

But...... Will need some spigot rings for ensure a good fit.

Any idea what size I will require, and where I can source a set locally?

They don't happen to be from Brent do they :P

I believe they need to be 74.1mm to 72.56mm.

Thanks Elijah :)

Brent's were going for $1200+ so weren't really a viable option.....

Did some scouring on TM and found a set (with rubber) for a very, very compelling price :)

Can you recommend where I might find a set of spigot rings? sorry for being such a noob......
