Went to tire rack and found 16" Superleggera's. They don't list them as an option when I select my 89 325is, but if I select a early 90's jetta they come up with a 16x7 with 4x100 bolt pattern and a +37mm offset. I assume that I would need a 12mm spacer to get this wheel to work on an e30. Where can I get a 12mm spacer in 4x100? Is there a reason why tirerack does not list this wheel as an option for the e30?

Center bores are different. No rings to make them fit. Also the spacer complication. We don't just sell wheels then tell customers that they're on their own to try to make the fit...thus they are not listed as an option. That being said you can purchase them if you want to try to work out the above issues on your own.

Thanks for the info. Don't want to try and force it to fit.

Gary,

What's the centerbore on the Jetta IIs? (I ask because I purchased some BBS RX's that were off of a Jetta that fit my e30 perfectly, with a spacer.)

Also, any chance that you guys will be getting any Kosei K1 blanks for custom drilling?

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry the K1 Blank program is discontinued. The bore on the Jetta II is very close, within a couple mm AFAIK.

Thanks Gary. Do you know anyone else who custom drills K1 blanks?

I mean that Kosei no longer ships out blank wheels. Their blank/drilling program is history...sorry.
