Here's a pic of the wheels I bought from Jeff Brown(still listed on his website) and mounted them on my 1998 R for winter use. At first I thought of them as ugly in a sort of good way.. they kind of remind me of racing wheels. Well, now they've grown on me and I'd rather keep them on instead of putting my CW wheels back on for summer. Anyone know of wheels that look similar to these? I don't care how much they weigh(within reason) or how they look. Any ideas welcome.. thanks.

Good. I'm not going for "pretty".

Misfit

Just use those and paint the inside black and anodize the lip red. that would look pretty good imo.

If you don't care how much your wheels weigh or what they look like, then what kind of opinions or "ideas" are you looking for? Nice seats BTW.

Eric

I guess I want ones similar in appearance to those.

are those the milano seats? they look huge.

i kinda like those rims too

Eric

Wow, I had no idea. Now I should be able to search for some more info. Thanks!

brian.edge

yea i have seen rich miata owners willing to give like up to 800 bucks for a mint set of them.....i went crazy when i saw that....mine are not so mint so i couldnt get that much

Eric

Mine are in perfect condition, but it seems strange to me that yours are 4 lug and mine 5 lug. Mine may be different wheels..

The seats are sparco evos.

brian.edge

yea i dont know they look excatly the same to me......did they make a five lug miata wheel back in like 91-92???? i think that is when these wheels came on thoes cars

I think the wheels actually look kinda nice on your CW.

Eric

I decided to do this to my stock wheels: http://www.b18c5.org/images/Eric/wheels/. I still have to do 3 more, but I'd say things are looking good so far. I like projects.

Awesome job on the wheels!!!

Can you make a little write up on how you did it?

bryant

should have left them polished

Eric

Actually, there were 2 very good posts on here. I have to find them.

They do look similar, but since your wheels have a 4x100 bolt pattern, and his are installed on an ITR (5x114.3), the definately aren't the same wheel.

my friend with a 325is E30 has a spare that looks just like those. maybe be the same. his are 4 lug though, but yours could be from a later beamer with 5 lugs

Are you sure his E30 is 4 lug? I thought all 'modern' BMW's were 5x120mm.

I've seen E30's use E36 M3 wheels, and they are most definitely 5x120mm, and I doubt they would do a spindle/hub swap just for some E36 wheels.
