    Well if you get past their looks there must be a reason that every classic racer still using bolts/studs runs them. Seriously, when we traveled with D&D about 95% of the cars out there were on Panasports.

    It would be sweet if they were and inch wider but unless you are going for bigger brakes the 15" is fine. Throw some head cycled radials on them and use them for DEs for shits n giggles.
    Im now E30less.

            Pannasports are great wheels. Super lightwieght and look good too. I wanted to put the 15x7 pannasports on the e30 from my e21 but the offset is 12 and didnt even come close to clearing the calipers. I say get the lip polished and centers repainted silver and toss them on the vdub. Heres a pic of the pannasports on the e21.

              That's the first thing I thought.

              I have basically panasports on my MG. They are 14x5.5 though. I want some 15x6. Drool...

                no it's just the lighting, the smudge is some scuffing, but it's a straight wheel. I'm gonna polish em up and toss em on the VW, that car wont need much wider than that, and 15" is the biggest you can decently go on that car, so it'll be cool I think.

                  They are 16" Racing Dynamics, I'd be willing to sell em for 250 if you're interested. Another pic.


                  Only catch is that I have to wait till my BBS replicas come in to sell em, otherwise I won't have wheels at all.

                    It's too bad somebody rattle-canned them black, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. They look like shit in their present condition. Completely ruined them.

                      Shit, for $250 you could paint them whatever damn color you wanted - that's a great price.

                        exactly

                        also, to those who PM'd me, I do have to wait till I get my other wheels. Also, BMWMike expressed interest first, so he has dibs. I'll keep ya updated.

                          Here's a shot of my previous car with 16x7 Panasports. I thought they looked good.

                            Those wheel look RAW as shit out a camels ass!

                            "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                                That looks awesome.

                                Since the wheels are so small, I'd say they'd look great on the VW, but not so much on the E30.
