    Will these 15" BBS wheels fit an E30?

    http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/pts/577534112.html Will these wheels fit on an E30? I believe they are late 80's, early 90 VW wheels that came on a GTI/GLI. I have a chance to buy some wheels just like this for only $200 but no tires included. Last summer, I see an ad in Craigslist for the wheels and I email and never heard back from the seller. A couple of weeks ago, I get an email asking if I was still interested, yea....

    If they don't fit on one of my E30's, I can always put them on my 74 2002tii.

      The offset is in the 3X but it's possible, you might need a small spacer.

        Looks nice, but bend easy. Not worth 750 IMO. Dime a dozen. They would work as a bolt on I believe but are not E30 offset friendly.

          RA's are not dime a dozen in good shape these days. They were only on Jetta II 16V's imported for 90-91 I think.

          Sold aftermarket for years thou. With wicked old AVS Intermediates. These were hot tires 13 years ago. Rubber has so improved since then.

              I've got E30 basketweaves on my 74 2002tii. I'm getting tired of losing or having some low life stealing my center caps. At over $60 each, they ain't cheap.

                I have these wheels, they fit just fine. Offset and width is the same as bottlecaps (6" and ET35). There are some that are ET33 and those require longer lug bolts. This page has some info:
