Bottlecap 16" PRE-ORDER

We’ve wanted to make this wheel forever, but have never been 100% confident there’s sufficient demand from the E30 BMW market. We’re still not, to be honest, but we’re only going to 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 14x6. 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 16x8 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 16x8 ET20, 4x100 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.

Q: Why should I pre-order?

A: Short answer: To receive a $20/wheel discount and make sure you'll get a set. Once the wheels arrive, the pre-order will end and the discount offer will end as well.

Longer answer: We will order only 300 pieces for this new wheel design for the entire world. We are not sure when (or even if) we will order more, but more than likely it would not be any time soon. The RML business model is designed not to sit on inventory, but to use our (very) limited capital to create new designs: in other words, our pre-orders could well be your only chance to purchase a set.

Q: Is there a shipping fee?

A: For US and Canadian pre-order customers, shipping is free, but once the wheels arrive this offer is void. For International orders, please see below.

Q: Do you accept international orders?

A: Yes. But keep in mind that due to fluctuating costs, your shipping fee cannot be calculated until the wheels arrive at our location. Also, you are independently responsible for any fees or duties assessed by your government.

Q: When are the wheels due to arrive at your location?

A:  As of 11/15/2024 the 16" Bottlecaps are due to arrive by April of 2025 (delays are possible and we will make updates in the blog section of this website to the ETA as we go). 

Q: Is my pre-order purchase refundable?

A: Yes, and at any time, and for any reason, up until the point the wheels arrive at our warehouse. However, because Shopify does *not* refund merchant fees on refunded orders, we are forced to add a 3.5% processing fee for any canceled/refunded orders.

 Q: Will I receive updates on my order status/ETA for the wheels?

A: Not individual updates: we will post updates as we receive them on our @rmlsnowflakes Instagram page, as well as here under the website blog section.
