I think these wheels would look very cool on my red 360 2.0 sedan, don`t you?? The offset on these wheels is very low though (ET 12). Would it be a problem sticking out to much? I want to do some lowering aswell.. They are 15" with 195/50 r15 tires, 2 wheels have 6J and the other have 7J. So real RWD look.

Im am very much looking forwards to your opinion!

ps. I am Daniel from Holland, this forum rocks!

looks cool.

I think the only issues would be with the bodywork but are you lowering the car? I personally would think they would fit even if lowered as all you would require is rolling the arches.

but I'm not too hot on these cars

Hello Daniel

I got two words for you: Do It!

I have 13x8 on my 360, with ET:04 and no rubbing, but maybe i will have to roll the arches a bit when i lower the car






With 195\55-13 tires, i just need to get the car lowered



I think your car will look just right with the BBS rims and some lowering, i hope you buy them

[danielvanderwoude]

I think they will look absulutely great indeed, the thing is though will they fit.. keep in mind that you are using a smaller tire.

as I look at your pictures I think, o that is et04 so et12 will work, but then again an other member with et28 ats cup had problems with his arches..

so not sure what to do yet...

[classicswede]

The front will be fine but I think you will find some clearance problems at the rear end. If that is the case then just mods the arches to fit

[danielvanderwoude]

hmm not realy into rolling arches. this is an other option:

13 inch with 175/55 r13 tires, the speedo wont be correct anymore then, can I live with that?

[Frits]

Those rims are really horny Daniel. I wonder what you have to pay for them.

I do like the last set of rims the most.

[Nikdev]

I think he means 175\50-13 on the last set of rims, i have never heard of the 175/55-13 profile

The problem with these small wheels are that you car will still look a bit high, still with 80mm lowering. They are to small to fill the arches.

I belive wide\deep dish 14"ins rims are perfect for a lowered 300 series

[Nikdev]

And yes you can live with the speedo difference, but you will get some extra miles every time you drive. (The speedo will show too much)

My previous car was an Porsche 924 with some wide 15" Compomotive Cnx on (I loved those rims and the car, regret selling it )
The tires were 10% smaller than the original tyres... Because of the close gearbox (I had the Porsche dogleg box) it became a bit annoying because off high rpm`s on motorway cruising

nikdev, did you lowered your car? if so; how much?

the 13inch wheels have a great look indeed, it will look a bit silly though like nikdev says the gabs in the wheelarches are big..Is it hard to bend the wheelarches at the back?

I haven't lowered my car yet, because i got the rims just before the winter, used them just a couple of months, but the car is back on steelies now..
This is how it looks like in Norway at the moment:



I am going to buy some 80mm lowering springs from classicswede
And some 60mm blocks to the rear, but i am having fun in the snow now, then a high car is preferred

Thanks! They are not Minilights but Rota RB`s. Bought them of a American shop: www.18racing.com

[stealthstylz]

Wow they're a very cheap site. Works out at £230 for a set of 4 13x8" RB's.

Nickdev - Did they charge you extra for shipping as on the site that says the price is with shipping

I know they are cheap, Rota only makes replicas, but it is still quality and i am pleased with mine.. I Think free shipping is only for USA, i had to pay extra. I would have sent them an email and asked for the price
