wheel question
 
Does anyone know the width and offset of these wheels?

I tried searching, but I don't know what name they're referred to as, and it's hard to search for an image. :)

15 x 5.5

not sure about the offset...

ebay huh?

=)

Yup. Ebay. I'd like to put them on my e30. They're not quite as wide as the stock 14x6's, but since they're bigger in diameter, I could buy tires with stiffer, shorter sidewalls to make up for that.

I dont know, but I've heard they will fit E30's perfectly...

It surprises me that BMW would make a wheel that looks so much like those old Phone Dial Porsche wheels. I like the look though.

If they stick with the current industry standard of about 40mm offset, that would be just about right for the e30's stock wheels' 35mm offset, since the Mini wheels are a half-inch narrower.

Turns out they have a 45mm offset. I won the ebay auction for $360, including shipping. That's for the wheels and the stock Mini Continentals mounted on them. Not a bad deal overall. I'll post to this forum and the e30 forum when I see how they fit.
