View Full Version : Chop request: Double spoke II's Motorsport3 08-03-2006, 01:47 AM Could someone replace the spokes in the wheels with Double spoke II's? Make sure to leave the lips on the wheels. I am thinking about having a couple of double spoke II wheels widened to fit the custom rear of my newly aquired M3. http://home.comcast.net/~fick182/m3/pics/DSCN0397full.jpg Motorsport3 08-03-2006, 11:16 PM Aww come on.... I know someone can do this. morganbressler 08-04-2006, 12:50 AM current wheels are really fly. Holy wide rear wheel! Rival23 08-07-2006, 02:38 PM What wheels are those on the car right now? E36Guy 08-07-2006, 04:04 PM Look like some Hamanns to me... :confused :help urban328is 08-07-2006, 04:42 PM look like hm2's keep 'em! Motorsport3 08-07-2006, 07:48 PM They are 17 inch HM2 knock-off's. I think they are OK but I just think it would be cool to have stock wheel set that has obviously been modified. Just imagine the confused looks when people would see a 17 X 11 inch Double spoke II on the back of the car. Motorsport3 08-09-2006, 07:42 PM OK. Would someone do this for money? adept 08-10-2006, 03:37 AM http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7254/hellrotny5.jpg Motorsport3 08-10-2006, 01:50 PM Adept, you rule! E36Guy 08-10-2006, 03:33 PM wow! :eek: that looks so nice. I didnt think it would look better than the Hamann knock-offs... but sure enough.. :drool: bmw-97m3 08-10-2006, 03:47 PM daaam probably the hottest hellrot slowbmw 08-10-2006, 03:48 PM i think it looked better with the hamanns car looks sick though!

Bav///Man 09-06-2006, 08:23 PM Not feelin the super wide rear double spokes??? I am. If you do it....wow. Motorsport3 09-06-2006, 11:16 PM I am. If you do it....wow. I'm gonna get a eurosport twin screw so I figure the crazy wide rears will be justified.:buttrock Bav///Man 09-07-2006, 12:46 AM I'm gonna get a eurosport twin screw so I figure the crazy wide rears will be justified.:buttrock :eek2 simply amazing. Studie 09-10-2006, 10:34 PM it's too bad they wouldn't have such a sweet lip. don't they cut in the center and weld in a hoop? so it would be wide but not have such a wide lip, right?

Yeah it would and I have located a place that can do it. In fact, due to the factory offset of 41MM, the lip would end up being bigger than the one on the "Hammans". In order to accomplish what I want to do, the entire outer rimshell would have to be machined off and a new 17x11 aluminum hoop would be machined and installed on the center of the wheel spoke section. The downside of all this is the fact that the "new" wheel will not look exactly like the front wheel at the profile of the rimshell(hoop) where it attaches to the center. The new 17x11 outer hoop is $215.00 per wheel, the labor to machine, set the hoop, true and weld is $260.00 each wheel. Total $475.00 each wheel plus shipping. $950 to modify a pair of stock wheels? I don't think so!:nono LupinIII 09-11-2006, 12:19 AM slowbmw, what size rims are those on the e36? 16 inch? just curious i personally would go with widened DSI's, but maybe i'm biased and it sounds like this widening process could make the wheel weak. |
