    good answer. yeah, give them a try with a moderate ride height and nonwide rubber.

    all else fails, sell them to a e21 owner

      Where did you get your 16x7.5 rotas? I cant find them anywhere. Everyone has 16x7 only

                Mine are bigger than that and have the Hyper Black finish rather than whatever that is. The lip on mine is the same as in the picture I showed, which is the hyper black finish as well. They look quite a bit different and really alot better...if I can find my camera I will get pictures of them on my car.

                There is also another wheel made by TSW that fits these cars I believe...the Catalunya I think? This one...again in a hyper black finish.

                    so im looking at some wheels
                    15x7
                    +38mm

                    ill need a 5-10 mm spacer correct ?
                    also is it safer to go with a stud kit or just longer bolts ?

                      38 is wayyyy too high. no one makes 5 or 10mm hubcentric spacers, but the good thing is that a 15mm H&R puts you are ET23 which is good for a 7inch rim.

                      studs make the job a lot easier. try lining up a wheels and spacer then getting a bolt in. fuuunnnn. you'd need long ones since most medium ones can only fit a 12mm spacer.

                      too bad a set of 15mm spacers will cost you about $180-200

                        15 or 20mm would be preferable. You could run 10mm though, it'd just sit inside the fenders a lot.

                        Studs are nice because its almost impossible to line the wheel + the spacer up to the bolt holes and stick the bolts through.

                          VWVortex has nice selection of 4x100, 57.1 centerbore wheels. some offsets are high, but some are okay, just with narrow wheels.

                          i was frustrated trying to find euro weaves, so i looked otherwhere for other wheels

                            well i found some vw k1's

                            so the centerbore would be the same. but the offset is 38

                              and besides the "e-ballers" on clean slammed show cars and RS's, they are cheaper/poorer than us so you can get some sick deals.


                              15"x6.5" ET33 4x100 Factory corrado G60 wheels complete with mint center caps. Minimum curbrash, and a couple bends on the inside lip on 1 wheel but all hold air and drive fine. Located in toronto/brampton/hamilton area.
                              Asking $450 CDN for the wheels without tires. [$400 USD]



                              15x6.5 et33 is okay to run with 205s on E30s, same width as basketweaves, just you have a bigger wheels for better looks (and more $ tires, but much much easier to get good 205). I'd rock out those with undersized 205-50-15 cheap sticky tires and they would look bigger and a little better acceleration

                              http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2672756 - a set of 6 corrado rz wheels. if we buy both, we can both have a set of 5 direct fit BBS RZ's

                              there's a lot of others there too. i'm passing on the 6" ones, hoping for 7inchers, but definitely would rock 6.5" if I was wanting to run more 205-50-15
