Hmm, AZEV Type 1 wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (70%),

Of Alpina knockoffs? what do you guys think? Anybody want to trade?

Wheels are mint, and I have all the bits that come with them, make me an offer. (must be 16" wheels, I think the 17" is a little big......

Ah you bought Kyle Scotlands old car. Glad it went to a good home Blair!

I vote keep the Azev's. The Alpina Kopi's are a nice looking wheel but they are a knockoff which means the quality won't be as good as the Azev's. Also, the Alpina Kopi's only come in 15" and 17" I believe. Besides, the car looks amazing as is.

VitaminJ · 10-22-2008, 11:18 AM

Love the looks of the Azev's, definitely pretty classic and in my opinion, one of the few non-basketweave rims that look good on E30s.

But, if you're looking for a change and can afford it, change can be nice!

There is another dude running the Kopis in his diamondschwartz touring. He lives near me and I see his ride on the way to work every morning. They look very sharp! He's on the board I believe?

I'm running them too. I believe the 17's fit alright with the touring's chunkiness but if I and when I have the choice again, I'm going with something 3 piece. The Kopis are just too heavy and soft for my liking.

I go 4X4ing a lot. Yeah, just trying to find the best setup for it. H&R's I guess but I would need to get them for a cab? Cause of the extra weight?

MC Hammered · 10-22-2008, 05:11 PM

Well I have a set of H&R cab springs available now that I have CO's installed.

Used for less than 4000 miles.

BCTouring · 10-22-2008, 05:54 PM

my touring has SLS, does it use the same springs as non sls in the back? is it just the shocks that are different?

hmm, interesting thoughts on the wheels to boys. although dougs car looks pretty good...

thanks,

Blair

Hey..!

Nice to see someone on the board picked up Kyle's Touring. Love that car..

I'll sell you my mint, unscathed 3 month old Alpina Kopis (with 3 month old Pirelli P-Zeros) for a very inviting price...

I've decided to downsize to 15's for my E30...

Cheers,
-B.

Doug: How does the extra weight of touring handling the loose surface, ie. snow or gravel.

Touring was always my 1st choice, but I settled with the ix becasue the awd, as I spend considerable amount of time on logging trails and back roads in winter.

Anyone have a IXT on this board

There is now... Does anyone know of any others around?

There was a IXT for sale in Ontario last year, I have spoken with the seller but end up not going forward. It was a 5sp DS just like yours. I believe someone on this board from Alberta end up purchased it.
