Been looking for a new set as my 2 of my Azevs are sqaure.
Have been quoted silly prices for replacements and as I have 4 brand new Yoko A520's sat in my shed, all I need are the wheels.
I'm struggling to find the right offset really, most are offering spacers which with the project soon to be finished does not install confidence in me, I don't want anymore weak links in the drivetrain, how embarrasssing would it be to shed a wheel at the pod??

So which suppliers have you bought your wheels from?

I have spoken to R-tec who quoted me Ԛ£161.80 per Azev A.....so if I can't find some sexy replacements I may just order those and stick with what I have.

Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome and any 2nd hand sets will be considered.......as long as they are straight, no more bent wheels please!!:cool:

Thanks, Mark.

that price is about the going rate for the azev`s as i looked into it last month.

tbh if you have 2 good azev`s i would just buy 2 more and get your tyres put on.

azev`s are one of the best wheels for the E30

It has been on my mind from the start, but havin seen some sets for about Ԛ£400 I thought I'd have a look and see what else is about first.
I've tried to get hold of some 2nd hand ones but people want silly money so I'm just havin a look at my alternatives.
Thanks, Mark.

Celvin,

I'll get your number of Sy Ward later and give you a call. I lost my mobile on Sat....so no contact at mo.

Will get intouch asap, Mark. :D
