The company below will have lips and barrels they fit Weds. They are in NZ though. If you want to spin your own lips and barrels shoot me a PM. There is a shop in AZ that is quite reasonable.

That’s what I thought, they look killer!
I widened my 14” rears a few years ago.

Custom widened Weds!
I recently sent my 14x7 Weds out to Wheelflip (wheelflip.com) to get the rears widened to 14x8. They cut the original 2.5 outer off and welded on a new 3.5 outer. All the width was added to the outside so they were ET11 before the swap, they are now ET0. (if you're doing the math on the outers...

One of the last things I needed to do before loading the Bavaria up to the Cage builder was to mount the new throttle assembly . The ITBs are cable operated which wouldn't work with the rod operated older BMW throttles . I got an E36 cable and pedal assembly and made this bracket to hold the assembly
Continuing with the Cage update / rebuild . One of my main objectives with the new cage is to tie in to the diff mount . Any one who has driven an old BMW (pre 82 especially ) hard (or in my case abusively ) knows how easy it is to rip the dif mount right out of the trunk . We made a solid diff mount and tied the cage in to that mount . Had new seat mounts made . The fuel cell had been mounted high up in the trunk , so I removed the old cell mounting and cur out the entire trunk , The Guys at Blue Maxx Made a new trunk floor with the fuel cell mounting to lower the cell

After getting the car back from the guys at Blue Maxx Garage , I reinstalled the fuel cell in its new mounts , Got some color matched paint and painted the floors to clean it up . and started permanently installing the wiring harness , got the power cables laid out and secured , , Take note of the new exhaust and the work Blue maxx did on the steering column

Got the fire bottle mounted and started laying out the lines , Also got the Fuel cell plumped and wired up , And started laying in the electrical harness permanently
Attachments
More pics of the new cage. installed the new firewall between the trunk and cabin and notice the bulkhead connectors for the electrical harness , also the quick disconnect steering coupler

It seams like its the small tedious things that add up and take time to complete long term projects , Trail and error involved to find a throttle cable to operate the ITBs
also got a pic of the exhaust that Blue maxx made for me, headers to ay pipe single 3 inch pipe to a magnaflow muffler

Has the car been on track yet? It's progressing so fast it looks like it's time for a shakedown run!
No still got a lot of the tedious work to finish , and I hate working in the heat durring the summer , I did get it running recently so Ill post up some pics and video in a few days
I know pretty much nothing about BMW CR, but I did skim the rules over coffee today. What I saw seemed to suggest brake modifications are “free” as are many other changes.
Regardless, it seems hopeless to build a Bavaria which can successfully against much newer sedans (E39, E70, F07…) that have better aerodynamics, better chassis, much more sophisticated suspensions and relatively speaking gigantic wheels/tires and brakes.
Super impressive car build.
