    Default ITS e46 or e36 wheels

    I am having a hard time looking for 15x7 race wheels...will go for 16x7 but want really really light wheels. I remember the SSR Comp wheels I used to have for my ITS BMW but can find them no where. Any suggestions on where to look. I would like them to be under 13lbs.

    Thanks

    Greg,
    I have some OZ Racing 15x7's not sure of the weight 5 spoke design deep lip. Not sure if that helps or not. They may be more of a street or rain tire rim but definitely strong enough to race.

    Have you called Bimmerworld? They've got Volk's, or if you're more budget minded, D-force, both are avalible in 15x7.

    james,
    I see the Volks are special order and could work but do you actually know of D-force 15x7's with the proper bolt pattern....only see the E30 4 bolt pattern on site. If they make them in the 5x120 bolt pattern this could be the ticket. BTW what offset are you guys using and what sizze spacer are you using with the offset?

    Thanks

    I've been using my oem type 35 rims from my four cylinder Z3. They're a 16x7 rim that weigh about 18lbs. I'm planning on moving to 17" rims with my next set of tires.

    I have two sets of Volks, can't remember the designation now, in 15X7 -- RE37 or something?

    About 9 lbs but they were $400/piece.

    I have two sets of Team Dynamics Pro Race 2s, 12 lbs each, I think $150/piece.

    I've run with both, no noticeable difference by YMMV.

    I'd get the TDs. Good wheel, light, good price.
