Anyone remember these wheels from the 90's i remember quite a few Mk1 Golfs with these. They look like Azev a but with a slight dish, i think they are 16".
Never seen these on a E30 but i think they would look good.

They look like 'A' copies. Mk1 GTi's used to wear 'A's back in the day (hence on mine as I've had a few) so just the same as Lenso's now I guess. Still a nice rim though

No idea mate,i was looking through an old mag with the radicool mk1's, the red one was awesome, they had E30 dash's fitted. Thought i never seen that wheel on a E30 so worth a post. I like Azev A but these curve in more than the Azev which i think looks better.

You can get 9J wide Azev A's with big dish!

Indeed you can. 7.5J's also have a small lip but the 9's just look great. Obviously I'm biased

Yes, I was suprised at the dish on my Azev's and they are the 16" 7.5j jobbies.

Yeah I run those up front and a very nice rim, but the 9's look tough at the rear! Helps pull the rear end off as I'm wearing a full Tech2 which (IMO) needs dish to help balance the fattness of the kit.
It's a shame they didn't make an 8J also as I feel this would've been perfect for the front end of an E30.

Staggered Azev's look lovely with or without a tech2 kit IMO, your sig pic looks spot on. I've only just painted mine, big improvment from the BBS I had on before

You can get an even wider dish.
I do have a soft spot for Azevs

Yeah you can get bigger dish than 9's but you have to roll with 17's which is too much imo. 16's only came in 7.5 & 9
I've loved 'A's since my GTi days many moons ago

Not sure about a soft spot when I look through my pics- this gives me wood...
