New meats

:bump:

this is car-porn :bump:

there are plenty of wheels you can buy in your choice of diameter and backspacing, it's just a tad more expensive than using (relatively) inexpensive BMW rims with adapters.... Centerline, AmericanRacing,Foose to name a few.... a 10x17 rim with 4" BS can easily be $400 :amazed: :skeptic: :goodevil:

my custom AR rims in 11x17 with 3.5" BS were amazingly cheap at $400 a piece ......
 
I think what makes these beamer wheels look so good is that they have some dish to them. And it's a different pattern than the torque thrust/craiger mag look that everybody has. The huge stock calipers serverly limits what will fit.

Running dynalite calipers allows you to bolt just about any wheel on.

Thanks!
I couldnt find a wheel that I liked (twin 5 spoke) that was in that price range. It was either these, or Boze Forged Lateral-G's. Which cost a fortune.

I agree... Older cars need some kind of dish, otherwise it looks kind of odd IMO. Now that Ive got 18's, I can stuff in the brembos I have sitting in my garage with some nice 14" rotors :smash:

Thanks! Ill probably modify one of the steering stops to keep it off the rack tube. The only time I plan on being full lock is attempting to park at low speeds anyway
 
I would like to use these on my 96 camaro but the center bore is too small. Maybe a machine shop could open it up to the correct size ?

Making the hole bigger is a lot easier than making it smaller :)

yes, a machine shop should be able to do this
