Personally, I think they look much better on an Integrale.

Not ideal 8O The ones in that eBay ad are ET35 & that's bad enough...

I think they'd look proper anyway, if the car was turned into a dirty rally sl@g.

Stick with the 4-door for a while, you can always swap any nice bits onto a 2-door if you get one later...

MIM'S BBS HARTGE ALPINA ARE THE ONLY wheels that look right on an e30 imo. Also IMO these look dreadful.

I like the wheels, in the right place, but I think they look pretty terrible in that picture (which is a decent photoshop effort by yhe way!)

Some controversial replies...lol.

Im more of a 'dished' fan aswell, but was just thinking out loud, so to speak.

I couldnt imagine an e30 on ronal turbos, or p-slots, even if theyre polished. Far too small surely?! Do you have a pic?

Bob_S - theyre 4x100.

The PCD is 98x4 as oppsed to 100x4, however they will fit if you use concentric bolts. As stated above, you are likely to need spacers and you may need spiggot rings too.

I personally like them alot.

Ilove these old-skool rims. The Ronals are well cool, not in gold though, and the offset sounds good for an iX too.

Those Pirelli P-slots are normally in 14" but there are a few 15" sets around too. Were originally on a Mk1 Golf Campaign. :cool:

I've got a set of P-slots on my Mk1 Polo. They are very common in 14" format and can be picked up very cheaply. Centre caps for them are very very rare though.

15" P-slots are very rare and demand big money. They were manufacurerd by Ronal.

Mk1 Golf GTI wheels tend to have an offset of between ET35 and ET38 so you might want to step them out about for E30 fitment.

Mk1 & Mk2 Golf GTI wheels are interchangeable with E30 (as my girlfriends Golf demonstrates here...)

We didn't line the centre caps up for the photo - they were just like that when she stopped.

the integrale wheels are nice....on an intergrale...

and im afriad that those ronal turbo wheels would look good if i was blind! (no offence to anyone who has them/likes them)

its down to personal preference obviously as far as wheels are concerned but have you looked at arospeed RS GT with the dark chrome centres? ( i believe TSW volcanos are the same idea but cheaper)

I think they look cool!, they look a bit like the cooling disc wheels the early 90's rally intergrales had on them, i'd go for alpina reps every time though on mine, they'd look the buisiness on a 205 gti or lancia delta
