Ok so looking at the E30 since i've put the cow plough on it's apparent the Ronals look like Piano casters. At some point i will have to upgrade to 16's, although with other projects on the go and money sparse this wont be for some time.

But it got me thinking what wheels can/could be fitted to an E30 that are a bit different from the norm without being overly council. Here's a few i like the look of. Note any purchased would be 16 inch with tyres that were actually wide enough;

CCW style....minus the supsension delete;

KLUTCH SL1 (Can be had minus the :bling: )

No I thought that too, they're a bit too modern looking.

Like your wheels are they e30 specific?

Apparantly they were a dealer option on some E30's. But I picked them up on ebay and had them refurbed. Straight fit as well 15x7 ET13 fondmetals.

Basically looking at the E30 with the cow plough on its apparent the 15" Ronals look like Piano casters.

I'm going to have to upgrade to 16inch wheels at some point, although not for a while due to lacking funds but have been looking at something thats a bit different without being council (hopefully).

I quite like the look of CCW style wheels and Klutch SL1's (was trying to get pictures to work) and wondered what the overall opinion was.
CCWs will suit your car Eddie,imho.
What we need though is some recent pics of the chariot! :D

Hi mate long time no speak, hope all is well.

We do indeed :) the poor old turd is moth balling in the old mans garage at the moment. Hasn't been on the road since around August last year.

I'd told myself i needed to do something with the Dodge this year so the E30 may not get out :cry: but that said i keep looking at it and getting the itch.
