Yeah they are nice and I very nearly ordered them on friday, only thing that puts me off is the black centre, I think it would look better in maybe gunmetal grey or silver??

Wheels may have to wait now for a few weeks, just got a 535i for the engine swap!! winkeye

I thought VWs (MK 1 & 2 Golf/Scirocco) were an offset of ET38 (or thereabouts).

It would be good to see some photos of these on an E30 close -up.
ET20 would be fine - they only originally made them in ET35 or thereabouts.
