Re: <E30 M3> Track wheels/tires

Hi Paul/Stuart etc, 
 
I just installed a set of TSW Hockenheim-R 16x7.5's on my '89 M3, and it 
fits perfectly, without the rubbing or steering wierdness that I had with 
my previous wheels, which were for the 5-series (ugly heavy-as-cement 
chromed monstrosities with major wrong offset that wore out a wheel bearing  
in 50k miles, put on by previous owner).  The only problem is that nobody 
makes a track tire in 225/45R16, so you'll need to either go to 17" or  
stick with the stock wheels.  I have AVS-I's on the TSWs and plan to buy 
a set of stock wheels for track tires (if I can actually get the dang 
Roundel on time so that everything isn't sold already. =) 
 
BTW I bought the wheels and tires from Discount Tire Direct. I forget where 
I heard about the 16" Hockenheim-R's, but they've only been advertised in 
17" previously.
