Before and After - which style is best?

[constructor]

Honestly, I'd refinish the old wheels. The lip on the new ones looks weird on an otherwise stock car.

I completely disagree. The new wheels look great.

They look slightly oversized. What size tire is that.

225/50 15. I had this same size on my old rims. Since they rub on these, I am going to put them on my old rims and use during winter. Replace these tires either with a 215/50 or 205/50.

Don't run these this winter here in New England or you will be paying to have them refinished.

I would have a set of spare wheels standing by if you plan to use your car this winter.

What size tire is that? Looks a little ballooned so suspect it might rubbing on the inside by the strut housing.

Yes I am going to put the old ones back on with snow or all season tires. Save these rims for non-winter use.

Also what do you mean by "ballooned"?

Looking inside the front, it does look like it would rub on the strut houseing but in the rear though their appears to be plenty of space. Maybe rubbing the ix fender flares on the rear?

x2 on tire size for the LS's and I think that is what Ronal even mentions for tire recommendation. Running the same wheel/tire combo with no rubbing issues.

Are you lowered?

As said before, they are Ronal LS, 15"x7.5", most likely ET25. You can remove the center caps and it should be stamped there. Same wheels as I've had on my old 89 Cabriolet and now going on my e30 vert. Correct size should be 205/55-15.

No problem, I think it looks much better with the Ronal.
Are you lowered are all? Where was it rubbing from?
Hers mine with the same wheels.

Yes the cars lowered. Bilestein HD and HR sport springs. Seems to be rubbing in all 4 corners, can't tell if its inside or outside edges.
Nice looking ride.

No idea where he got them. Thanks for the fitment help.

Silver by all means!!

Back when Ronal was selling these in the US they offered sticker style centers that went over the ACT/Ronal plastice center cap. I peeled the ones that were on my centers about a month ago.

They are awesome and long lasting wheels, I've had mine since 2006 and the look almost like new.

I' digging the BMW center caps, I'm looking for a set of those for mine, any idea where he got them?

I know this is going to sound pathetic but I don't know. The lip on these is very deep. It is polished. I have a set of 15" euro weaves and the lip is half of what these rims are. I asked the PO and he said he didn't know.



Does anyone know how I can determine what they are? I would also like to know the offset so I can properly fit a tire to these and stop the rubbing. He ran 215/50. I trust him in his recommendation, his e30s are super clean and nice, he does things the right way; but on my ix these rims rub like crazy with a 225. My euro weaves had 225 on them and didn't rub at all. So I am a little worried would 215 be enough of a drop, or should I buy a 205 just to be safe?

To complete the look with these wheels what would you recommend?
