    some people can't describe properly...

    "There not curbed although there is a few spots on the outside lip were they made contact with the curb"

    So they ARE curbed then?! Dufus!
    The price is right though.



    The Mille Miglia have been known to bend easily...

    not sure the "8s" are completely suitable
    "You need to be careful with E31 wheels... the fronts are generally et10-et13, putting the wheels further outward. They will work but will alter the suspension geometry and widths 235mm or greater may rub at full steering wheel lock."

    Before I bought my wheels, I met the seller at a shop and had them spin each wheel on the balance machine to look for any signs of damage.
    Better safe than sorry, e34 is sensitive to wheel problems.
