engine and drivetrain need wide wheel advice my 02

[charbmw]

How's it going everyone. Just wondering if I could get some advice on some wheels. Im looking for something mean, wide, and maybe deep dished to realllly fill out my Ireland Engineering Turbo Flares. I've also got the IE stage two 1.5 inch drop. I like the classic look of the 20 spoke Alpina's in a 14" or 15", but I'm not looking to spend a ton, so is there any knock off or something like it that's cheeper and even more deep dished. Also wondering what width I should be looking for, 7 or 8, and zero offset??

Thanks for the help

try kopi wheels - http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/kopi.html

bbs rs wheels are sexy and hot at the same time but cost a bit more.

I've seen some folks on here with IE turbo flares fill them out nicely with 15x8 et-0. Can't remember tire size off hand.

Be careful though, there are some great wheels but most of these guys are young (i.e. knock offs, overpriced wheels and a lot of name calling/smack talking) Other than that you would be amazed at the selection of unique wheels. 

I'm a big fan of the Groma Fab wheels, they fill out the flares perfect and look great too. 

Check out these Rota's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-ROTA-FLASHBACK-GOLD-RIMS-WHEELS-16x8-20-4x100-SCION-XB-XA-BMW-E30-2002-MIATA-/260880170917?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cbdab7fa5#ht_2114wt_862

I'm not sure I've seen a set of them on a 2002 but they look good at an affordable price.

et0-et15 on a 15x8 w/ 225/45R1 tires will fill them out excellent. Et 10 would be ideal IMO, but it's hard to find. XXR makes some nice looking wheels in 15x8 both et15 and et0, they're around $100/wheel.

The first ones on my car before I changed direction. They'll go back on it in a year or two.
