Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) 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!

eliongater 718 Report post Posted February 19, 2016 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).

Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't happen to be from Brent do they I believe they need to be 74.1mm to 72.56mm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennyboy 199 Report post Posted February 25, 2016 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......
