These will get too expensive for me, VERY nice though (Despite their branding!): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150651712987? ... _500wt_998

What size tyres are you guys using? For the Slot Mag Reissues (http://www.wolfrace.co.uk/40th_details.php?wheelID=244); I was recommended 195-50-15.

195/50's will be fine. You can go to 205/50 on the rear or even 215/50 with a bit of arch rolling.

Hi Peter, did you need spacers, or did the wheels fit straight on? Thanks!

Would these be too wide anyway, even with these tyres on:

8x15", 4x114.3 pcd, ET43
185x45x15 Tyres

They're the wrong PCD. You need 4 x 100. ET13

He said he could supply adapters, at an extra £120.. Will forget about this one I think!

The BBS wheels we have are a straight fit. No spacers or whatever. You only need to know that BBS uses longer wheelbolts.
They are 7J with ET 13. The tyres are 195/50/15 Bridgestones.

Thanks Peter, I located a set but they are ET24

Those are probably a set off 15 inch BBS from the BMW E30 series. Is not a big problem but you need spacers at the front of 10 to 15 mm. The back is no problem. I had those on a E21 as well.

PM'd

Thanks for that, they look well on your car.. I'll have a look into pricing for spacers and longer bolts!

I got these from eBay Germany, for €271 inc delivery:

They're 15 - 7J - ET24, so I need to get those spacers and bolts, I think Demon Tweeks have them..
