Help me find wheels

[P_Roloff]

There’s also a seller with two sets of euroweaves asking $899 per set shipped, I’ll send the link to the r3v ad tonight.

Yup.

Is there a reason you want "NEW" wheels?

Why not get something that is a quality used wheel that isnt made from chinesium? 

Also: What is the price range for 400 Bob? ___________

New gives me control over getting exactly what I want with no curb rash or compromises such as color, offset, or running adapters.

Price range = HA! well,  low enough to cause ridicule. Go easy on me...~$750

The way I have to play the game is: I could have a worn out leaking  S52 and real BBS wheels on budget all season tires, or a freshened up modded M52 and cheap wheels on good rubber. There are compromises.

Thanks for the feedback so far

Nothing wrong with that at all!

Have you considered 15" wheels? There are a bunch of affordable spec e30 wheels(euroweave fitment), plus 15" rubber has a much better selection/prices. Some examples:

Dforce LTW5 (15x7 et25): https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1430-d-force-ltw5-15x70-et25-silver-wheel-13lbs-e30-318iis-325iis/

Kosei K1 (15x7 et25): https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=KR22S&wheelMake=Kosei&wheelModel=K1 Racing&wheelFinish=Silver Painted&showRear=no&autoMake=BMW&autoModel=325i&autoYear=1989&autoModClar=

I'm not a big fan of the 15" version, but...Team dynamics Pro Race 1.2 (15x7 et25): http://www.bimmerworld.com/Wheels-Tires/Wheels/Team-Dynamics-Pro-Race-1-2-15x7-E30.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl_jN_Jif2wIVyySBCh3bGwHWEAQYASABEgI9wvD_BwE

15" wont do unless they are euroweaves, the wheels must be 16" to be worth making a move.

I have a set of Artec Type L's but the lips all got bent in shipping=(

AMEN brotha. 16's are where its at. 

$750 is a good price for what you are looking for and I would think you could easily find something that isnt cheap junk. 

Also, do you know how to work an aerosol paint can?

Rota Slipstream became popular back in the day as one of the only direct fit 16x8 wheels

it may be hard to find a set new, but used ones are out there.

you can get new silver ones in 16x7, but 16x8 is only black/gunmetal etc

i heard 'bottlecaps' someone in there. the offset or price are not ideal, but

Compomotive TH's are amazing!

That black car has Impul Silhouette's, they're no longer in production and tough to find unfortunately 

After looking at the Impul/Compo TH/etc, the ESM version of those large bottle caps/turbine wheels does look a bit off

Edit: I think it's the center caps. The ESM wheels look pretty cool if you leave them off:

^^^ seriously? Do it right the first time and fugetaboutit.

Edit: Mitch wasn't here, someone had to start talking sensibly around here. Also, by "fugetaboutit", I meant "check them for cracks every couple months". Probably not a good choice for the OCD crowd...

Brock B1?

This is an excellent choice and there was a set in Chitown a few weeks back. They are gone now though

For those that havent seen a set of Brocks before..

[The Full Banana]

Another vote for Brock B1s. I love those wheels.

I got really excited for a second. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/226653637888651

Dunno if you found a set of wheels yet but ac schnitzer and ccw lm5 have a similar look. AC Schnitzer can be found all over ebay and internet if you're looking for used. CCW is American made so even though they're more rare in the used market, you can order easily from them.  Other 5 spoke wheels I can think of are Work equip 05 and meisters,
