I'm pretty sure Gus has sold them now.

Cheers

I see, he probably actually kept them, becuase he like them so much!

Secretly I'm sure he did really like them. What is not to like!!

I have been spotting a black 325i parked in one of the empty carparks at my apartment complex most days, it is sitting on bottlecaps, screaming out for the return of the chromies.

Cheers

I hate to say it, but bottlecaps are a bit lame. Put back the 17"s

Each to their own I spose.

I prefer bottlecaps to 17's. 17's look a bit out of place on an E30 in my opinion. 16's are the ideal size for an E30.

Cheers

mmmmm, 18" Compmotive MO's.

Got spare body parts to sell to afford them???

The last set I saw forsale in the US were for $2200, 2nd hand!!

My 16's are for sale, prolly not as bling bling as you want, but they are very well suited to the E30 I feel, and they are made to fit (no hub centering rings req'd etc...)

$1300 with new Goodyear GS-D3's (205/50) on the front and near new Toyo T-1S's (225/45) on the rear.

PM me if you are keen.

Compomotive will make them to suit your car (offset, pcd, hubsize etc) so its actually a pretty good deal. There is a Compomotive dealer in Chch.

A new set of 18x8" MO's was going to cost me 5500. I think i'll stick to BBS LM's!!!

Holly s..t..5000 G's, a bit too much out of my budget. I would spend between

sort of 1600 and 2 G. Had 17" chrome raptors with tyres priced up at 2600

any other suggestions

I quite liked the chrome raptors gus had on his car (think I was about the only one tho). You should be able to pick up a set for less than $2600 I would have thought tho. Have you considered white rims, those are pretty mean IMO. What colour is ya car by the way?

Just make sure they are hub-centric.

This means the wheel has to fit perfectly on the spigot on the hub.

If the wheel is not hub-centric the wheel bolts are under alot more load than they are designed to handle.

The spigot on the hub it what is designed to take the load, and the wheel bolts just hold it in place against the hub face.

If you look at the WOF reg's I believe it states something similar for aftermarket wheels, most places are too slack to check though!! But I'm sure the police/insurance companies will if you have a decent prang!!
