Pic Request: EP91 with BMW E30 wheels

[Turkish91]

Just been thinking of ideas for wheels on the car, seen loads of the Civic boys fit the BMW E30 wheels, the 15" BBS ones 4x100 fitment. Anyone got a pic of these on a Starlet (or even know if they fit properly offset wise??)

[ryan lang]

sure enzo had some on his sr?

ive got some bbs replica lenzo wheels that i need tyres for before they go on

[Turkish91]

Yeah I think you might be right there mate, the big search begins! I reckon it'd look awesome

[ryan lang]

check my build thread for mine, they are right sexual

[Turkish91]

Enzos look like Lenzos as well, theyre black with silver lip. Im looking for literally a bare standard silver set of BBS wheels on an EP91 (picky I know lol)

[ryan lang]

haha ask some1 to photoshop it?

Pretty sure theyre Lensos Idrees?

omgz that green EP looks the daddy on those wheels!

[ryan lang]

yeah, it says they are lenzo's if you have a read above the pic

[Idrees]

Yeah, I thought they're quite similar to what you were looking for.

[Turkish91]

Jaystar pretty sure theyre the ones! Perfect thank you very much

And Idrees, yeah them Lenso's are pretty similar but Im a fussy person lol! See looooads of Civics with these wheels on, not seen many Starlets so thought it'd be a bit unique!

[Nanglebadger]

looked so hott!

I think the 15" E30 BBS is an ET 24 or 25, so you might run out of arch room? Starlets are about ET 35 normally?

Here's a 15" BBS/E30 WMS kit (280mm) gratuitous shot:

Definitely from a Beemer Turk, I leave the centre caps off as they don't suit the look at all.

Haven't seen them on any EP91's except Phil's in the above pic and that was only temporary. I've used them on two of my GTs so far :

Because they are a common wheel they can be found for cheaper money too.

They look awesome man, definitely gonna be looking for a set after payday! You've just made my mind up with them pics! And yeah the centres wouldnt be staying on!!!

So what are you saying Im gonna need some spacers? I dont understand offsets that much tbh!

[Keri-WMS]

So what are you saying Im gonna need some spacers? I dont understand offsets that much tbh!

Nope, the other way round - you need "anti-spacers"! The E30 wheels will stick out about 10mm further than Starlet offset ones as far as I know. Might be ok?

Also E30 BBS's have flat spokes, where Jaystar's ones are curved back a bit. Probably by 10mm!

[Turkish91]

Ah it'll be alright! Bit of stance!

According to the ads on eBay, theyre saying an offset of ET30? So does that mean 5 or 6mm outwards from the arch over the standard Starlet offset?

EDIT: Hmmm they all seem different, literally just clicked on another set and thats saying ET24?!

[Keri-WMS]

I only found 24/5 on the E30 forums...

[Turkish91]

Sorry, just realised Im being a mong... Duhhh!

Well there's only one way to find out... if they stick out a little bit I aint too fussed

[Keri-WMS]

lol - right lets get really geeky, the "15 inch E30 BBS" has three versions:

1 - Cast by BBS

2 - Cast by Alu

3 - Cast by FPS

They are all "the same" as far as BMW and 99% of people are concerned, but there are differences to the back of the spokes and the logo under the cap etc!

[Turkish91]

LOL geeek! So the general consensus is then that they will fit, although may have issues with them sticking out the arch a bit too far?

A mate of mine is currently photoshopping them onto my car too
