    Thumbs up Wheels for the Little Beastie

    A bit bored at the moment, so the mind is thinking about future upgrades for the Little Beastie. So I was wondering via the forum what is the cost and availability of some 15x6 4x100 32-38 with a 57 bore rims, in a mesh design? I am only looking at the moment getting a feel for what's out there,as I have a few other things I need to do first.

    Don't some of the old BMW's have that style of rim? Euro reckers have millions of them, I remember seeing a whole massive shelf of them up near where I live.

    Had a quick look on ebay and you'll be changing the hubs for some VR6 BBS at this rate

    I think the offset and bore are different.

    we use to use a stock e28 / e30 steely for run about, they use to bolt up fine, and the offset wasn't to bad, i think polo wheels up to 2000 have a 4x100, and theres a few 15" that came as a stock alloy.

    i'll find out which bmw the stock wheels came off, it was a terribly long time ago!
