Get hub rings and deal with it.


GM bore > BMW bore
120.65 bolt pattern vs. 120.00 bolt pattern = who cares

because cheap and rad

I like em. Called and left a message. Thanks man. I wonder how 10 offset would turn out on an e24. Wonder show wide the rim is too... 8", 8.5"? We will see I guess. Then I'll be searching for some inexpensive tires too.. thanks again man.

before you hand over cash, you should look into the best cheap way to get them on your car. check out mye28 and bigcoupes for a start.

Anyways, stock offset on an e24 wheel is what, 22/24-ish? you are approaching HELLAFLUSH

[ScottyK]

Will these work?

oof. Man, these might not work out.

The seller (from my email to him when he listed them at $550) says they came off a 79 El Camino.

*IF* they are direct-fitment for that car (and who can say), then they are a center-bore of 70.3
(according to this link right here)
http://adaptitusa.com/referencebook.htm

If that's the case, you'd need to get them bored out to make them fit your e24 (72.56 bore)

Could they be a larger bore than 70.3? yes. It's hard to tell what the guy has.

oof. Man, these might not work out.

Bummer. I liked these.

I've got a set of these. Some of the best looking wheels ever for the e24 and period correct.

6 with mm wheels.jpg

Mine are 16" (photo on the car is 17") and I think 8" wide. need to be refinished I believe. they have been in storage for a few years awaiting an e28 project that hasn't materialized.

I wasn't planning on selling but if you are seriously interested maybe I would part with them. Its going to be a serious pain in the ass to get them and see what size and condition they are in, so let me know if you are really interested before I haul them down.

Looking for something with more of a lip and staggered... With tires would be nice too. Thanks for the offer tho man.

[ScottyK]

These have been on close out at tirerack for months... Not crazy about the look in the pictures, but maybe they would look good in person? maybe not.

Will they work?

Nobody but you can find the answer to that, to be honest.

They are an unknown bore. Seller can't tell you the size, nor could any person on the planet without measuring.

Bore bigger than your hub? Great! Add hub rings
Bore smaller than your hub? Stil do-able, but you need the wheels professionally altered to accomodate.


Worst case, you'd be re-selling. Either way, you're gonna hafta man up and DIY if you want to know for certain!

[ScottyK]

Good find JPB... These may be the ones I get. I like em a lot. Would need to figure out tires, but at least I'd have the wheels done.

[ScottyK]

Guess I just need to "man up". Haha. Thanks for that.
