    WTB: 4x100 Zender Turbo Wheels

    Hello everyone, putting out a feeler to see if anyone has a set of Zender Turbos for my Alpine E30 they would graciously sell to me, looking for a set in decent condition.

    Looking for a set in 15×7 with an offset of +20

    Let me know. Thank You

    You might want to check the VW Vortex message forums as well. Those wheels were popular in the VW world back in the 80's so you're more likely to find them in the VW community.

    Pretty much any wheel (14" and larger) that fits the 1975 to 1992 MkI and MkII Golf/Jetta/Rabbit/Scirrocco is an exact fit on the RWD E30 as they share the same offset and centerbore.

    The MkIII cars however used a much deeper offset so any wheel that fit those cars would need spacers (but they will fit the IX).

    Might want to also state what size/width/offset are you looking for.

      Understood, thank you for the info!
      Yeah, my fault, wasn't too despcriptive, I'll change that now.
      But to be quite honest, I'm not too familiar of the different sizes they come in. I've seen 15×7 with an offset of +20 before, If I could get a set in those specs I'd be happy. Maybe even wider if they were ever produced wider than a 7"

        Not quite correct. Stock offset on MK1-MK3 are typically all in the 38-43mm range. While the center bore is correct for MK1/2/3 VW's and E30's, you'll want to check the offset carefully to see if you'll need spacers and longer wheel bolts. VWVortex is a great resource for 4x100 wheels though!

          Sorry but that's not correct.

          The MkIII was the debut of VW's "negative offset geometry" suspension design and they increased the offset of the wheels.
          MkIII wheels do not fit any of the RWD E30 models, but they do fit the IX.

          Stock E30 325i/e/es 14x6 Bottlecap Wheels have 35mm offset

          Stock Mk1 and MkII GTi 14x6 wheels have 38mm offset

          The later 93-99 MkIII 14x6 wheels have a much deeper 45mm offset

          I have extensive experience with various factory and aftermarket VW wheels from when i was modding my VWs for track and autocross back in the day. At one time i was interchanging my various Panasport, Revolution, Minilite, Ronal, GTI, E30 Basketweave wheels and Bottlecaps on my 89 325is and 85 Golf GTi and 86 Jetta GLI. My 15x7.5 Ronals are specifically listed for use 84-91 E30 BMW, 75-92 VW/Seat as listed on the box. Their ET37 version was listed for MkIII. I briefly ran a set of these with spacers on my E30.
