My O2 Zen Life

• Jan. 7, 2008 - New wheels and tires





The E30 bottecap wheels that were on the car had a rubbing problem with the front struts (because of their 35mm offset).  Coupe King had put 5mm spacers on the front to deal with the problem.  I decided to replace them with some Superlite 14x6, 26mm offset wheels.  These are Minilite knockoffs manufactured in Australia.  They are available through Pack Racing.  I like the look better than the bottlecaps and prefer not having to use spacers.  While I was at it I replaced the tires as well.  Went with a set of 195/60HR-14 Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.  The Yokos that were on the car were old and I suspected they were flat spotted.  All in all, I think a nice upgrade.

About Me

Five or so years ago I bought an old BMW 2002. I have spent the past few years bringing this old car back to life. It is way past any kind of a 'budget' but I won't give until she is a reliable, fun car to drive. It turns out I'm having a lot of fun in the process! post script: Restoration completed, Dec-2007
