Picked up my Mcoupe, so I'm looking for a set of 18's for it.
Would love some specs close to or rebuild able to:
18x9 et30
18x11 et17
My expenses:
1450 - rims, needing refinish and bad tires
300 - Powder coated centers
50 + many hours of labor - polishing the lips myself
500+ - tires
75 - mount and balance
If you're not familiar the Mitos are a getting rarer and rarer, and the Type III's good luck finding them.
I bought these about a year ago for my E36. I got it stanced and wheels put on and then soon lost interest in it. Sold the car and now these are just sitting. The Mcoupe is a lot lower to start than the 328 was so I'd rather get me some 18's.
Specs:
O.Z. Mito Type III's
Front:
17x8.5 2-piece
2.5" lip, 6" barrel
Et13
Falken 452 205/40/17 (< 1500 mi)
Rear:
17x9.5 2-piece
3" lip, 6.5" barrel
Et13
Falken 452 235/40/17 (<1500 mi)
Polished lips, silver barrels, vegas nutmeg (bronze) powder coated centers.
I bought these wheels from the PO under the understanding the rears were 10". I bought the new Falken's before I dismounted the shot tires to find the rears were actually 9.5". This resulted in the 235 I bought being a little to "fat" for a E36 application and the outside wall has some very light rubbing shown.
The only issue not pictured:
-one stud broke on reassembly, I got it removed and had to turn down one end on an M8 stud
