I'm a big fan of dished steels and came across this company on a VW forum

prices are OK (before shipping) at about £50+ a wheel, depending on spec.

They're not unlike the centres off a Chicken Paxo (Citroen Saxo), but without the detail. Look awesome on the Golf.

steelies are often lighter and stronger than alloys, probably upto a certain size?

It's often only the proper MAG alloys which create any weight savings I believe

Im not normally a lover of steelies but those are pretty cool tbh. They look good on the MK2 rightness.

Ohhh yesssss. Wasn't sure if the e30 could carry those. It can!! Awesomeness!

Looking at the chart, it's either 7j or 10j, what's on the e30?

7" on e30's isnt it? im abit concerned by the website and its mention of different beads, i'd want to make sure it was a j bead before i ordered, god knows what they americans are using.


they look a bit big on the e30, that must be bigger than 15" surely?

I think they make a much more cost effective alternative than the dodgy and expensive banded steel look

If you look at the different styles on their website, some do look like the wellers

Hmm, Do you think they would go with a tech 2 kit. I'm having some very naughty thoughts.

I think they'd go with a Tech 2 kit, they've got the kinda poke that would compliment it pretty well.
