You're better off with the Vortech, Perrin's doing some good stuff with that kit

Yes you are right. I'm very happy with the Vortech. And Visconti was very good in tuning it for me.

You should! Or else the stress from work will give you a stroke. God forbid.

[QUOTE=JackSmiley;821091]They'll fit, but it'll poke out. Im not sure how the front would be, if rubbing would be an issue. And you'll be running stretched tires with that set-up. I'll be running the same wheels but +35 front and +20 rears.[/QUOTE.
Do you order them yet ?

Nice, I remember going on BMW drives with the founder of that company about 10 years ago. They make some great lightweight, good looking, relatively inexpensive wheels for BMWs. I'd definitely consider picking up a set of 86-fitted 17"s from them. Keep us up to date on any developments!

He mentioned those drives he was doing before because I told him about the meets going on here northern cali and the vegas meet. He's also excited to the products they will produce for our cars. Me too, I'm interested on the wheels they're planning. I'll keep you guys updated but yeah, they know their stuff. An affordable performance wheel that is lightweight is a must!

How do you guys get these kinds of gigs anyway? I dont mind having my 86 as a test car.

be careful running spacers my friend. anything more than 15mm is a bad idea
