Ok so I found these for a hefty 100 bucks.
They are Ansen hotwires. Never heard of them, 5x114.3 but would redrill them to fit. 15x8.5, -10 offset. So are these going to stick out like a mofo?

Yes, they will. Unless the hubs have completely flat backs, you will also have to have them filled before drilling.

Those are gonna grenade your front-end bits quickly. Didn't we have a dude that tried desperately to drill out some wheels here?

Trying to remember who that was- ask him about his experience.

You do know that all OE BMW wheels are hubcentric and not lugcentric don't you?
Do you have any idea what the load rating is on the wheel is?

Going to have a pro wheel shop do it of course. Going to check them out today and see how they look on the back, but yeah it might be a bit overkill on my 533i.

Maybe if your e28 was a C110, or a DR30.

I like them, alot, but i have a feeling they're not going to be worth the modification. Best of luck!

Yes, going to use hub centric rings.


They have flat backs so that's good. Now to see if its worth the trouble.

I looked up those cars, very nice old skylines. If anything I will throw them on the old maverick and slam it.

I don't think a wheel exists that is more incredibly wrong for your car.

Exactly what went through my mind. I thought those looked badass on an E28. Someday I will build just a cool E28 and it will probably get a set of those somehow.
