Sweet wheels, Joe are these 15 or 16? didnt think the 15s came in 7.5

The 15 inchers did come in 7.5" rim widths. The best ones are the OP's 15x7.5 ET25 version which were cast using the original ACT molds from the mid 1980's (original BMW E30/VW MkII fitment). Ronal happened to still have these molds in storage and used them on the 3 (or was it 4?) production runs that resumed in 2001. I still have 3.75 sets of these wheels myself. I sold my one set of ET29 versions to a VW guy a few years ago.

The new ones arent, you will need to run hub rings and possibly spacers with the ones you are thinking about.

I don't see where the offset and centerbore are stated on that Tunershop link.... it just has the rim width and diameter even after clicking on More Info....... and the picture they have looks like the 16 incher.

Yes, but a quick phone call or email and they tell you.

Ah, ok then.

The "new ones" that Joe was talking about were most likely the 3rd and final version of the LS, which were created after the final production run of the original ET25 version had ended.

This 3rd version was supplied with car-specific centerbore rings and/or spacers to make them fit a variety of 4x100 cars (VW, Honda, Nissan, Toyota etc) and were similar to the 2nd version (with the shallower lip) that also came with reducing spacers to attain their 29mm offset. I wasn't involved with the release of the 3rd version, but i don't think they made very many of them.

FWIW, my E30 was the car that Ronal USA used to test the ACT-LS fitments (offset, brake caliper clearance, centerbore diameter and chamfer, lugbolt length, etc) before the final products were released, and was also the car that appeared in their ads and catalog.
