RML has wanted to make this wheel forever, but they’ve never been 100% confident there’s sufficient demand from the E30 BMW market. They’re probably still not, to be honest, but they will only make 300 wheels, so the risk isn’t huge.
The Bottlecap is probably the most well-known E30 OEM wheel design, but it was only available in a 14×6. Today, that small, multi-spoke design looks bland at best. But add 2′ of diameter and width, along with an aggressive rim lip, and that same bland design becomes aggressive with a very motorsport vibe.
For this new 16×8 RML design, we’re using flow-form construction method: this technique allows for a very light (approximately 15-lb), and very strong wheel, while also giving us flexibility to add different widths without having to create a new mold.
Wheel specs are 16×8 ET20, 4×100 PCD, 57.1 center bore.
This is the ultimate OEM+ wheel option for the BMW E30.
This is a pre-order for the upcoming RML 16′ Bottlecap.
