zeitgeist57 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I just met a guy here in Cleveland, who was selling some wheels that I need to replace my cracked 17"s. The deal didn't work out. Still need to find something... Basically I need 16-17" wheels, offset ET38 to 42. Bolt pattern is 5x120. Lemme know what you got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Just curious, why didn't they work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Clay, Just curious, have you talked to Wheel Medic? I betcha they could do something about the crack for cheaper than you can get a new set of wheels. by the way saw this: https://limaohio.craigslist.org/wto/6112997692.html you'll need a special set of offset lugs (PCD Variation lug nuts) to run the vette wheels because of the .65mm lug spacing and the wheels bored for it to fit the 72.56 hub but not the worst idea. Even at $100 per 20 lug nuts and $50 per bore, you are still a head of most e36 bmw rims. edit, I was also thinking about the m3 contours you have on the car now - the rears are too wide which is why they rub, but I betcha if you found 2 more front rims you could run 4 m3 contour fronts on the car no problem. you could also roll your fender lip if you are feeling froggy about making them fit. you could buy this set of 4 and then only use the fronts: https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/wto/6072680779.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Just curious, why didn't they work out? The wheels had a few more Nixon gouges than I expected, and the guy had no explanation for it. He didn't know the history the wheels. Plus, they were cast "winter tires only". That made me a little nervous. Clay, Just curious, have you talked to Wheel Medic?
