New Coffin Spoke Wheels - 328 GTB

Beautiful wheels

 

Look nice, do you keep the original tyres size?

 

The more I look at them , the more I like them, I also have the 17 inch Compomotives for my 89 GTS. along with another set of 17s that were on the car when I bought it 22 years ago. Im running 255 45 17 s in the rear, and 235 45 17s in the front, which i will swap to 245s at some point at the front .

Thank you

 

Wow, those look amazing! They are very OEM in appearance, as if they would have been an option when the car was new. I have always thought of putting these on my 308 in gold, however, after seeing these, I think that they look better in silver.

 

simply amazing! Congratulations it looks perfect.

what sized tires you have? Any issue with tire rubbing?

Std suspension?

 

I have always felt 17" are a little large" but I must applaud the overall result and those early mirrors are great!!

Overall throw back retro mod!
Looks great....

 

Are the California mirrors useful at all? I dislike the flags on mine, but at least I can see well enough out of them.

The wheels look incredible.

 

Did you order them directly from NTM or through a dealer?

 

@Tifoso

With the titanium bolts ?

 

IMHO these wheels look better than all the OEM wheels from 348 onward

 

I LOVE it! Great job.
What year is your 328? ABS concerns? As for the coilovers, I was not able to find any for my 89 328. Suggestions are welcomed.

 

There are no coil overs for 89 s , I asked many years ago, Im lucky I found a custom set of Compomotives specifically made for an 89 , I think I own the only set made. Dont lower the car, with 17s you can go 255 s in the rear, and 245s in the front, you will have grip beyond belief, thats if one can find 17s for an 89 328 .

Thank you

 

You can get your Konis rebuilt to units that have some adjustability to them, mine are all brand new stock OEM Konis, my originals lasted 100 k miles, and were still performing so good, that I really did not feel much of a difference from new, the big difference was from replacing the motor mounts. The space between the OP GTBs wheel to fender is almost exactly what the space is on my 89 328, the OPs GTB is a bit lower to the pavement, looks great, but more prone to scraping, and center punching. Hopefully that company can make a set for an 89, his car has a fantastic look and set up, I like it as much as my car, and I thought pretty highly of my set up .

Thank you

 

Thank you.

 

I appreciate your input.

 

Awesome wheels. ive always loved them in the copper color.

 

you can actually go wider on the rear, this what’s on my 17” right now and my car is lowered without any problem with clearance
Front 8” wide 225/45/17”
Rear 9” wide 255/40/17

 

Sorry - Not a fan of the look (Not that it should matter to anyone )

The 70's-esque wheels and mirrors seem at odds to me with the 328's late 80's softer edge design for the front and rear bumpers.

On a 308 GTB/GTS, with their sharper edges on the front and rear ends, I think they would look superb (think I'd have to have gold coffin spoke wheels though)

It's the OP's car though, and so long as they like it, that's all that really matters

 

I love the look! well done!

 

I love it. A very nice, subtle improvement over the OEM wheels.

 

Damn! That looks Great!
