Nice find!

[CMart]

Thanks I think I got a pretty good deal on them.

Thinking about going gloss black, but feel bad painting these...

[Earl]

Silver is the way to go=)

[CMart]

I think so too, but it will be the only thing not black or red on the car.

This also means I have to worry about suspension sooner that I was planning.

[CMart]

Exhaust manifolds fitted. Downpipes next.

Any thoughts on dual exhaust E30s? I have an idea in mind for what I want to do, but am afraid it won't look right.

[Earl]

Those wheels look great on there. If you want to change the color of them, I would recommend plastidip since they look so immaculate=)

[REKIII]

Dual exhaust, lol.

As long as the engine is a V or boxer then duals are acceptable.

[straight6pwr]

dual exhaust just doesnt look right on bmws of this vintage. its also not worth the extra cost or work over single: extra piping, two mufflers, extra cutting of the valance, more weight, etc etc.

i'm going for a big single oval exhaust tip when I redo mine.

[YoungCR]

I would just run dual lengths along the stock routing, I agree it would take some work to be "symmetric"

[CMart]

I will likely go with a single exhaust with an inline muffler and electronic cutout bypass for when I want it loud.

I second this!

Those wheels are so dreamy! If you ever decide to sell them, Ill be your guy!

(BTW I actually test drove that red sedan that your wheels came off of in Detroit like 6 years ago. It was really clean then but it doesn't look so hot these days.)

I couldn't find another set for sale. What's the going rate in 16X7.5s?

[Earl]

Depends on the condition. If theyre mint I would say around $1000

[CMart]

Interesting. I don't think there is another set for sale in the states right now.

[wasnt m3]

Maybe not right now but quick Google search shows random sets from the past couple years anywhere from $600-$1750.

[Earl]

I split the difference=)

[CMart]

I'm happy with them. And I don't plan on selling the car now with all the hours I have into it.

[Rowleym]

Do you have another wheel setup for when you want to use your v8? Those look great for sure.
