          I have a call into Eric the owner of the site and products.

          Matt I dont believe the columns are included.

          Last I talked to him he was having several made, then checking on fitment.

                  VDO gauges are pretty much identical, either cockpit or vision

                            can they make these larger than 62mm? you can use these as high quality cup holders if you can change the mounting :-D

                                Pick out what gauges you are going to buy first, then choose the size.

                                IMO, for this application 52mm's are fine. They're cheaper than 60mm gauges, and since they're going to be right up in your face on the column, easily readable. If I were mounting elsewhere farther away I'd look at larger faces (like maybe in the ashtray, OBC, etc.).

                                BTW, VDO makes a very nice series that matches the stock e30 gauges very nicely. They even come with little red "condoms" for the bulbs that match the lighting at night fairly well.
