maybe I should take care of that first!! Thanks for the idea Nick.
Chapel, I want around $1k for them with fully hand polished lips and bolts. I still have two wheels to finish up though. Price will go up if/when I powdercoat the centers. I'm also thinking of having them widened to 10" in the rear
I might take a little less for them as is or even all polished up. Make an offer I can't refuse

Remember, if there is crankcase pressure it doesn't matter how big the drain is if its being forced back up the drain. You have that taken care of with the catch can setup. Just saying, there are a lot of variables.[/quote]
Tried some new shoes on the 200 today. I think they look OK, but I don't love them. Guess they'll go on the E36 unless someone wants to buy them
how much you want? what bolt pattern are they?
Yo Chris, IMO these are the dopest rims you had on your 200. I had not seen this pic yet. Your ride looks hawt like that. Don't sell 'em or widen them in the rear. Quattro does not like dissimilar widths.
btw, Have you seen/heard ams' vids with the 3076R? How come your ride sounds so different?
Hey Chris, you know I really like them on there too. I didn't at first, but they are growing on me. I think maybe they need an even taller sidewall to really look alright. Also, they just don't look good enough on the 200 with such a small tire as far as width! I will make sure to stagger the tire sizes to match the new rolling diameters of these wheels. Pretty much exactly how I did with the 8.5' and 10's that I was running on this car before. All I know is that as far as investment is concerned, people will pay a LOT for these as a staggered 8 and 10 set.
I have indeed seen the vids with the 3076. One reason mine sounds so different is because of the open wastegate. The other reason is because I haven't used a camera that has good enough frequency response to catch the turbo sounds of the Holset. If you listen carefully to my vids, you can hear the low tones of the turbo some, but you can never hear it once it starts spooling and gets into higher boost. Its loud in person, I just don't have a camera with good sound. I should try it with my gf's 3g iphone. That should get the sounds better!

Yeah a bit more wall height would fill it just right. What is that? Like 35? Now if only you rolled the read arches a tad. hehehe
I was referring to the engine/exhaust note, not so much the turbo, but thanks for clarifying that. I am starting to appreciate the difference in sound (not to mention price) between Holset/GT open/closed WG.
Oh well, just happy with my old K24 right now. I am gonna be ridin' my S6 again in 10 days. YEAH!!!
The sidewall on those is 45 actually. They are just short because they are 205's.
I don't know exactly why the exhaust note is so different. His almost sounds v8-ish at times. I know he's got a dual setup. Also, mine is just a random muffler. It sounds great IMO, but I have no idea what it is. Its just straight through though...no chambers. Also I have no cats.

the reason I can't run wider than 205 in the front is because it won't clear the fender if I do. The backs have a little more room to clear though, so I can run a little wider of a tire in proportion to the wheel size. I could probably get away with a 225 on the rear as it sits now. If I widened them (it would only be widened to the inside) I could probably get away with a 255 with no issues just because they would be stretched like the 205's are on the 8's.

Well, its either run 205s all a round and learn to 4 wheel drift or roll the front to accommodate 245s, at least (and 4 wheel drift of course).

they looked like BMW E39 BBS-style wheels or are they just legit BBS Super RSs?
Jared they won't work on UrS cars unfortunately, cause they would look sick !
yeah, that's why I wanted to know if they were Super RSs or Style 5s... ET0 isn't going ANYWHERE on a C4 surprised they fit under the fenders of a C3 to be honest
I'm running ET35 on an 8" wide wheel right now and I'm nearly to the fender lip as it is from my math, ET30 would be ON the fender. ET32 would be 'flush'

i bet the cams also make a big difference, not sure, but i bet the 3076 car has 3b cams in it still. The difference in sound between 3b and 7a cams is huge. The 3b cam sounds like an angry growl, where the 7a cams scream. You can def tell which cams the car has just by sound alone.
The open WG dump sounds mean but like you said it got old after so many pulls. Plumb that thing back in youll be likin how it sounds. HD sound is win too.
