Guys, after the amount of pic's that have been displayed on the Azev A wheels thread in the photo gallery, i've decided i need a set of these on the rear of mine.

Don't the rear ones look awesome 8)

My only problem is where can i get them from :?

Can anyone help?? i've tried searching, but no joy.

Yeah i think Dips is right there. The 4stud seems to be about 7" or so wide and still sell for top dollar, whereas the 5stud ones go upto 10" wide and go for peanuts on German ebay 8)

You can probably get them, but it's the width you want that would be the poblem. If you do find one, it will be top dollar as well i can assure you :(

I've always wondered if tehre was any great differenc between 4 and 5 stud, what the significance was or if there was any physics or logic behind manufacturers choosing 4 or 5 studs?

Hi Pal,

I have a set of staggered wheels on my e30 s50 project - they are 4 stud and 8.5 on the rear, with 7 on the front. Managed to get them off a guy who had a reiger kitted e30 - also bought the 4x100 10' rears he used!!! gave them to my brother however (when family asks, cant really say no!).

Absolutely love these wheels, i think i got a pic somewhere - i will post it up.

Good luck finding some more - im also after a pair of 7x17 A's if you know of any. Once again, the things we do for family...

Cheers mate,

adil

hello pal,

family is famliy - cant really change that. Its all good though - his mk2 golf looks good with these classic wheels anyway.

I meant to say 7.5*17 sorry! The 10's are with my brother - dont know what he done with them! They would look sill on a normal e30 however - i think theyre are some pics on the net of an e30 with the 10's on... looks off key.

Could get more pics, but better off once the conversion is finished!

Cheers,

adil
