Anyone remember these wheels from the 90's i remember quite a few Mk1 Golfs with these. They look like Azev a but with a slight dish, i think they are 16".

Never seen these on a E30 but i think they would look good.

They look like 'A' copies. Mk1 GTi's used to wear 'A's back in the day (hence on mine as I've had a few) so just the same as Lenso's now I guess. Still a nice rim though 8)

No idea mate,i was looking through an old mag with the radicool mk1's, the red one was awesome, they had E30 dash's fitted. Thought i never seen that wheel on a E30 so worth a post. I like Azev A but these curve in more than the Azev which i think looks better.

You can get 9J wide Azev A's with big dish!

Indeed you can. 7.5J's also have a small lip but the 9's just look great. Obviously I'm biased 8)

Yes, I was suprised at the dish on my Azev's and they are the 16" 7.5j jobbies.

Yeah I run those up front and a very nice rim, but the 9's look tough at the rear! Helps pull the rear end off as I'm wearing a full Tech2 which (IMO) needs dish to help balance the fattness of the kit.
It's a shame they didn't make an 8J also as I feel this would've been perfect for the front end of an E30.

Staggered Azev's look lovely with or without a tech2 kit IMO, your sig pic looks spot on. I've only just painted mine, big improvment from the BBS I had on before 8)

You can get an even wider dish.

Yeah you can get bigger dish than 9's but you have to roll with 17's which is too much imo. 16's only came in 7.5 & 9 :(
I've loved 'A's since my GTi days many moons ago 8)
