my first e21 - 323i hennarot - 1st mod are the wheels!

Post by PHR 614Y »

Just got this 83k miler off ebay, Picked it up yesturday!

Bought it as my "winter car" as I drive a mint e30 325i cabrio daily, but I don't want to in the winter months.

The only thing is, this is better than I expected it to be. Winter car? Maybe not.

Needs a little tlc. Started on the wheels already.

15" X-spokes off an E30. Good fit so far! Looking at running 195/50/15 front - 205/50/15 rear. Anybody allready done this without problems?

Got new System 2 suspension with 30mm drop fitted 200miles ago.

Will add pics as soon as mods are done!

One of the front 15" BBS doesn't fit, as I found on an other forum, you need spacers. :( The only reason the other side fits is that it's a replica and the offset is slightly different.

So, I sprayed the 13" instead, have a look!

I love them, they look like they are factory fit. :D
