Please check ou tthis thread and clear up the confusion. Is the R-GR available in 18X8.5 and 18X9 in the US and is it available in any color other than black?

that's diamond black in those photos and if they come in 17x8's (not 17x9) then that's just another wheel I'd be interested in.

They are only diamond black that is being imported into the US. For the E36 the only thing I will have is the 17X9.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Jim, can you fit 17x9 all around on the E36? if so, do you know what they are gonna cost each?
thanks!

Ron, 9in wide out front is going to be a tight squeeze, regardless of the offset...:az:....

Chris,
you're right but that's what Jim@tirerack says he'll have for the E36.
maybe he'll have some 17x8's coming up soon too.

At this time they will only be in the 17X9 and they will fit all the way around with some work. You will need to roll the fender lips and run more negative camber.
They are going to be 465.00 per wheel
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

yeah but for one, screwing up your front camber is just going to mess up your tires quicker.
I'd like to see a 17x8" wheel size come out soon for it.
