I am not sure what my son's first car will be ( 2002, 240, e30???) He like them square.

But I do know I want these wheels for it. 

They look so good on so many types of rides and not to bad on price

Am I crazy for waiting them for the Jeep's good wheels and keeping the snows on the aluminum wheels?

Please tell me they make those in a 19 x 10 inch. I know they do two piece setups, I would LOVE a set of the polished ones for the R8. Dealing with HRE or BBS is a pain and those are cheap and really cool.

I noticed a Ford Transit Connect van the other day that had these wheels, so they may be a choice if you can find some at a salvage yard.  I think they're 16 x 6.5, but there are a number of companies out there that could put wider and/or larger rims on the centers.  I don't know the bolt pattern, you'd have to look that up.

These are exactly what I have had in mind for the clubman and why I have a saved CL search for 16" mini steel wheels.

Can't tell if they are banding a Dorman replacement wheel or re-shelling the centers. Either way it is really cool. When I find what I am looking for I plan on banding them out to 8"

I plan on a fair bit more tire than this though

Get some crazy wide bassetts made.

The bassetts might not be round but they hold air.

Bassetts don't come in anything but 15/16 I think. I ran them and kodiaks on my old Shelby racer. 

I have been going through some E36 M3 trying to get my three piece BBS's to not leak right now. I am not doing a three piece wheel again if I can help it.

Thanks for sharing—these steels are awesome.  I know they're heavy but as far as utilitarian cool is concerned, it doesn't get much better.

It was mostly a joke.. 

back in my jeep days, these guys had a reputation for being able to make anything out of steel.  http://www.stocktonwheel.com/  I don't know if that is still the case.

What would be a good center cap for these?  I can leave it unfinished looking.

They do offer 4X98mm for Fiat, but far too heavy and wide for my car. They do look great though.

There are some crazy good guys I know. This is what I would love to do but I cannot go through making three pieces again. I refuse.

Those steels are rad, anyone have a idea of weight.  Heavyish im sure.  But are they no worse then a basset?  Im looking at a 15x9

"Those look like Italian wheels." I thought.

"Well no E36 M3, Sherlock." About half a second later.  "Corsa."...
