That's a nice looking wheel. If you get them, make sure to post pics in the tire/wheel section.

They look similar to BMW Style 5 wheels.

The are a copy of BBS and BMW use them, but I aspect the wheel cap is to low to fit the bearingcap.

I don't think that roadster owners will be able to use the front wheel caps. The rear should work fine.

Are they only available in the UK? I have been looking for a set of BBS RS wheels for my BMW but they are pretty expensive to find in good condition.

I'm sure these DARE wheels come out of china and daremotorsports is just a re-seller. So how do we get them in the states?

I want some 16x8 for my coupe :-)

I received this from Dare Motorsports:

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry. With apologies, we are currently unable to ship the the United States as our current courier services are very expensive and we are struggling to find a financially viable solution for our customers. This is something that we are trying to change this year.

Agreed, I dearly miss my E24 shark, but always loved the E9's
