Rondell Alloys

Post Wed Oct 12, 2005 1:27 am

Well all, having trouble finding a shop here in Ireland that can supply me with some Rondells. Cant order off their main site either so i'm looking for any info on sites that I may use to purchase online... anyone have any usefull directions to point me in.

Bought an e30 tonight, first one, 325is. Purchased without the "Alpinas" that were on it due to the fact that they seem to be popping up on every e30 around so looking for something a bit different. Collecting the car next week and will be rolling on the original BBS wheels so I want to try and sort something for the Rondells double quick.

Looking for the 0058 model and thinking of 8.5x 17's, will these be too fat? Better off going with the 8x17's?

cheers

If it's DTM style alloys your looking for there's not too many (if any) which will fit without spacers & spiggot rings. I went for the Dare Supermesh 'cause of the stainless rims - look more dished although they have VW offset (so need 20mm spacers & spiggot rings).

Dare have a website and will sell direct, if you're interested:

Alternatively RIAL do a DTM style called "Daytona":

Rochford tyres have a shit load of choice including the above:

There's also TSW Kyalami (but I think the hub size is no good), Fox R4 (definitely do fit, with spacers...), etc.

Loads of choice mate! :lol:

the keskin KT4 wheel will fit in 17's. they are available in 17x8. this is the size needed for them to fit, just gotta get correct offset. on the e30.de site there is a pic of a e30 with them on. you will have to search it. as for a source try styledynamix. top guys and they can provide you with all the info.

Cheers for the info guys. Yea I'm pushing for more of a DTM styled wheel but at the same time I want a wheel with a fairly reasonable dish to it.

Trying to find out the dish size for the KT4, seen them on an e36 and they seem less than impressive, but trawling through the galleries on www.e30.de ive seen them and they seem sizable enough.

1.5 or 2" i think

These guys may be worth a try:

They are very helpful with BMW fitments
