What wheels to put on an 02 is a very widely and hotly debated topic around here. What is your intended use? Autocross? Fun on the street? Do you want a wheel that looks vintage or modern? Do you want a common(easily and cheaply replaceable) wheel? How much do you want to spend?

Here's a good start:

Here a very good info provided by IE:

An ideal offset for a 6" wide wheel is 25mm-28mm (ET25 to ET28) but if the car is lowered you might have to roll the arches.

Remember, you could always modify your fenders and go wider more traction.

Hope this helps.

Here are some shots of CJ's alpina replica rims. I was looking forward to seeing some other shots of cars with these rims, but no one has posted. I put up a few cellphone camera shots that had poor resolution. Anyway, these are better and show the rims better. 195/50/15; 15"x6"

thanks for all the help. im looking for a type of rim that looks cool for a street car and dosent cost more then my car and i really dont want to have to cut my fenders to do it.

Fenders are uncut, car is lowered, rims are 800? More info in CJ's rims ad on the f/s board. Its a sticky. You can also get turbines, which look similar in a 13" for dirt cheap.

Here are E30 Botttlecaps on my `76. No modifications or spacers necessary. I have Ireland Stage 1 springs and Bilstein HD shocks all around. 1.25" drop and no rubbing. The wheels are dirt cheap and look great to me. The tires are 185/60 R14 to keep the speedometer correct.

Good Luck!
