I asked about these some time ago and was told that they buckle as soon as they see a pot-hole. I was also told that the finish doesn't stay good for very long.

I've got a feeling these rims might be multi-fit 4x100 and 4x108. Could be wrong though.

Well Iv still got to chuck an engine in it yet so plenty of time to think about rims, like I say, im open to suggestions!

Fitted them to my sport, very pleased with the look for what they cost.
Re:

Are they the 15's or 16's? They look quality! Need to see them on touring!
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2008 8:19 pm
15's and fit with no problems.

Main problem with them is that they have been copied with VWs in mind. To that end they are a high offset and pretty thin. Ergo they look completely lost in an E30s arches unless you use massive spacers and even then from behind you can see they are thin wheels.
Not to mention the fact they are cheaply made, heavy, etc..

I was also looking at these and think they look awesome. At the end of the day, it's what you want on your car. By the way, did you order a German badge from the link I gave you? ;)jay1980 wrote:Just wondering if anyone has any pics of these on a touring??

Yeah I do like the look of them, think I may go for the 16's, didn't order the badge yet, think I will though as Iv never seen one around my way!

What do you think of these? I think I may like these better.............Available in 4 stud e30 size soon. I think they're a little less 'bling', but still cool.

Nice one mate, they look the nuts!!! I reckon they will look quality on my touring!!

I've seen these available in 15" and 16", and 7J, so no more skinny than a 15" BBS. The ETs available are 20 and 38. Would either of these ETs fit an E30 ok?

No idea mate, I think I'm going to go with the rims in the link, 7.5 x 17" then maybe paint the centres in gunmetal grey or something similar. Just got to sell the alpina reps now!!

You have probably noticed already mate, but the alloys in the link are ''split rim look''. Just wanted you to be aware........;)

Yeah mate, thanks for the link!! I emailed them today to see about ordering a set! I think they will look the nuts if they are done in dark grey/silver.greentouring wrote:You have probably noticed already mate, but the alloys in the link are ''split rim look''. Just wanted you to be aware........;)

What would be the problem with ET20 on an e30? I'm looking at the add for the 7 x 15'' rim. That doesn't sound a high ET. The 7.5 x 16'' rim has an ET of 24.ste wrote:Main problem with them is that they have been copied with VWs in mind. To that end they are a high offset and pretty thin.

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.
