Hey guys, what do you think of these wheels? Theyre 15x6.5 inch. They pretty modern, not sure how they would look on an E21, but i think they have potential. Especially with the shadow centres on a hennarot car  ! |

They look....
invisible? They'd look strange with tires on them. |

i think you have very little chance of getting them fitted to an e21 legally. |

Why? Theyre only 15 inch wheels, and 6.5 inches wide. Nothing new really. |

by the look of it, I would say that wheel has too much offset. I'm not sure what the practical limit is for spacer width... Do you know the actual offset? |

Yeah, the offset is 40mm for this particular wheel, but it is available in different offsets, ive just got to find out. Are 25mm spacers still safe? |

I think this is what Madhatter was referring to. I'm pretty sure that more than 5mm of spacer is illegal to use on-road in Australia, if it's allowed at all. You can get up to 30mm hubcentric spacers, but as far as I know, they are not legal for road use. Maximum offset for the E21 is ET20, but it would be better around ET15. |

Ok. Hopefully they have them in a different offset then. Well I'll just have to keep looking, but for the while I might be getting a set of 13x6 BBS MAhle wheels . But ultimately i want 15s, ill just have to keep looking. |

Because they are cheap late model fwd style wheels which have large offsets. Spacers are illegal in pretty much all states.
You probably wont find them in a lower offset, thats the problem with most 4x100 wheels being produced today, usually only smaller fwd cars which run this pattern now so they are designed to suit. |
