Hi everyone!

Can anyone give me any information on the wheels? I have been told that they are a popular wheel with e30's but thats it lol

I bought a mk1 golf last year and they were on it,

are they basket weaves?

4x100 15x7 cant remember the offsets though.

where they from etc? they have 4 metal caps which seem to rattle about abit, but told they are original caps?

1 wheel has some curbing and 1 possibly 2 have a flat spot, is it worth me getting them refurbed?

cheers for any help/advice/info

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Have a set of these on my E30.

Dont know a whole lot about them, not sure if they were an option when new, but mine are stamped 1990 (IIRC).

They are ET13 so same spec as BBS Mahles

Wasn't aware of MkI being offered in Atlas Grey, thought that was an early MkII colour?

If I had to offer two options it would be Lhasa Green followed by Helios Blue 8)

Must have been a cross-over colour then? Don't think I've ever seen a MkI wearing it :)

Same as mine, have a look at the photo gallery thread "urban Photoshoot" for a few pics of these on an e30. They should be ET13 and they fit no worries without spacers.

Pretty sure the kba41146 is the model number, no idea what the 2600b means though.

Gratuitous shot of them on my E30 :)
