0 B C Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Funny thing, ive visited ESM's site quite a bit in the last year but was fixated on their bottlecap style wheel but the ESM bottlecap style wheel just looked a little bit off so I moved on. The Impul Silhouette is more along the lines of what I would want in a bottlecap style wheel. I haven't been back to ESM since I have decided on a style of wheel. Thanks for mentioning it. I'd be looking for this with a flat center cap along the lines of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 straight6pwr Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 you'd have to buy real Borbets + buy flat caps, or, have them custom made for anything off-brand. the ones you posted on the white car are clearly custom-made for the ESM brand wheels Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 m42b32 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 If you're interested in a minilite/watanabe style wheel these look pretty decent assuming the offset works (Enkie Compe), they've got tires that will fit an e30 too https://madison.craigslist.org/wto/d/firehawk-tires-on-enkei-wheels/6588112923.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price range = HA! well, low enough to cause ridicule. Go easy on me...~$750 The way I have to play the game is: I could have a worn out leaking S52 and real BBS wheels on budget all season tires, or a freshened up modded M52 and cheap wheels on good rubber. There are compromises. Thanks for the feedback so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of affordable spec e30 wheels(euroweave fitment), plus 15" rubber has a much better selection/prices.

AMEN brotha. 16's are where its at. $750 is a good price for what you are looking for and I would think you could easily find something that isnt cheap junk.

0 straight6pwr Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Rota Slipstream became popular back in the day as one of the only direct fit 16x8 wheels it may be hard to find a set new, but used ones are out there. you can get new silver ones in 16x7, but 16x8 is only black/gunmetal etc https://www.18racing.com/collections/slipstream/products/rota-slipstream-1670-4x100-40-67-1-full-polish-steel-grey m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That black car has Impul Silhouette's, they're no longer in production and tough to find unfortunately After looking at the Impul/Compo TH/etc, the ESM version of those large bottle caps/turbine wheels does look a bit off Edit: I think it's the center caps.

0 HipMF Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 ^^^ seriously? Do it right the first time and fugetaboutit. Edit: Mitch wasn't here, someone had to start talking sensibly around here. Also, by "fugetaboutit", I meant "check them for cracks every couple months". Probably not a good choice for the OCD crowd...

0 vng704 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Dunno if you found a set of wheels yet but ac schnitzer and ccw lm5 have a similar look. AC Schnitzer can be found all over ebay and internet if you're looking for used. CCW is American made so even though they're more rare in the used market, you can order easily from them. Other 5 spoke wheels I can think of are Work equip 05 and meisters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
B C
Criteria:
Bolt Pattern: 4x100
Size: 16 x 7, 7.5, or 8 (still not sure what my best width option will be)
Offset: Not sure yet, but I can always use spacers
Color: Silver/gray/gunmetal, no gold, no bronze, no black
Brand: Does not matter as long as it is not an ebay multiple-label type brand. I am good with brands like Rota, XXR, Avid, Konig, etc. Something
Style: 5 spoke, spokes should be fat, should be somewhat deep dish (at least an inch or more)
I am trying to find something similar in design to an OZ Futura.
I see the Keskin KT1 but its a european wheel and so far I havent found any distributors where I could buy some new in the US
Even the XXR-532 is a close enough design match but covered lugs/something that isnt black would be preferable.
Lets see if you can find or know of anything that might match
