Anyone have an idea of the name of these wheels, I know they are made by OZ but is there a particular name they are known by and does anyone know of a set for sale??

I don't think they have a specific name, just oz racing.

Compomotive TH are very similar too. So similar they could be some of those with oz stickers tbh.

I like them, but the rest of the car would have to be full on dtm spec to work, would look a bit daft in an otherwise standard car.

And, I think they're a tad too new for an e30, they were more often seen on the mental 92 - 96ish dtm and super touring cars. Personally I think e30s suit the centrelock bbs wheels better.
cheers,

92 had the later style wheels, but agree on the DTM look

OZ racing is the name IIRC,

look a lot like ronal turbo 2's.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

they are/were made by Compomotive of Wolverhampton. I have a set of their AT's, I went to the factory for some centre caps and they had their entire range on display, The OZ racing wheels were made by them.

Compomotive th1780's are the most similar wheel to that which you can still buy new. There are two types of 1880's, a new-ish wheel out from compomotive and the original (best) oz racing/compomotive version like the ones posted. The only company licensed to sell them is a Spanish outfit called TTD motorsport. Bit of a pain in the ass to get hold of.

They look like the sort of thing you'd see on an Integrale, in white. I'm not so sure they suit an E30, but I'm a flat cap wearing OEM homo with a BBS fetish - so who cares? :)
