Wheels
like most eurotrash wheels/rims as some call them dominate the build process...for the past 2 years i have searched websites...i have bought magazines...i have looked at wheels on cars while on vacation...its time...i ultimately want BBS RS 001 4x100 7-8's staggered...color is probably best suited for a graphite color...

1975 - 1983 (E21) (1975 - 1983) The original 3 Series. Known for its unique body styling and racing heritage, the E21 3 Series is a light, nimble, tail happy sports sedan with classic late 70's lines offering a connection to the road that few newer cars can match.

F.S. Weds Bavaria 15x6.5, 15x7 et16
Set of 4 Weds Bavaria Wheels staggered 15x7 and 15x6.5. The offset of all wheels is about 15.875.
I set one 15x6.5 on a scale and it weighed 13.6 lbs. More pics available if interested. These are 2 piece wheels. They started life as a 3 piece but were welded together at the factory by Weds. The centers can be unbolted for refinishing etc. $1,000+ shipping. Local pickup preferred in 92084 but I can bring them to Socal Vintage if a deal is struck ahead of time. I just shipped a similar set to Ohio and it ran $100 fully insured. There are 2 spots that were repaired. I've taken a number of pics of the repaired area. The lip appears to have had some curb damage that was ground down and polished leaving a "dip" in the lip of one wheel. I have shot 3 angles of that area which is included in the web album for viewing. Second repaired area is at the back of one barrel and appears to be a bend that was hammered back into place. Looks ugly but appears straight. No cracks. The lips are polished and the rears could use a cleaning. The centers where recently repainted gold. The caps are a mix and the previous owner attempted to make "weds" stickers which look good in pics but are starting to peel. Regarding the offset. by my measurements the wheels measure 7.5in(190.5mm) to the outer edge. from the back of the hub to the edge of the wheel they measure 4.375in(111.125mm) 190.5/2 = 95.25-111.125 = -15.875 so I guess they are et15.875 correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks for looking. ![]() ![]() Backside ![]() 15x7 rears |

16" ESN Wheels
this is an example of a set of 16" ESN's on the bimmerfourms.com in silver...
they do fill the wheel wells...many believe these are the largest wheels the typical e21 can pull off cosmetically...not to mention the difficulty a 4 cyl. engine has with 17" wheels... these pictures help me "get it" i see the wheel wells here are full...i assume? rolled...hott wheels either way...
