As in the golf wheels ?

Will fit but wrong offset - the rears will sit too far inside the arches

Have seen the Porsche 928 P slots fitted which can look good but require a 5 stud conversion.

Thought all standard Mk2 Golf GTi wheels were 15" ?

I had 15" Mk2 Golf 16v BBS on my first E30 - fronts looked fine but rears were tucked in a bit too far :

I really like P-Slots. Bang on some huge spacers and they'd look great. I think they really suit the E30 above!

nope, only 14s as standard whether steelies, p-slots, bottle tops, tadpoles etc, only the late cars got 15in bbs RAs.

part of the reason i put my lancia wheels on the mrs' decent 185 60 14 tyres are hard to come by and pretty expensive. 195 50 15 toyo t1-r work brilliantly on them and are £34 each :D

theyre not porsche p-sloprs, theyre porsche 928 alloys with a piece cut out of each slot to make them P shaped. handily 4x100 to 5x130 pcd adapters are pretty common and not massively expensive and would work really well on an e30.

If you want the expense of some adaptors, then the Porsche D90 alloys off the facelift 944 look really nice.

Those Pirelli slots don't look too shabby, shame they are not 15"

Mk1 p-slots on an e30!! why? you might as well put bottle tops on it or steels as even with spacers they are still 6x14.

They did actually come in 6x15 but these are rare as hell. So I wouldn't suggest any P's.....just no.

Not even these (with track day rubber..for extra points) belong on an e30.

One of the lads had D90s on his 320iS last year for a while... looked brilliant with them!!! :)

Can't believe people like these on an E30. Horses for courses I guess.

I think they look like plastic wheel trims personally. :wink:
