    i have a delhpin 325is with ronal ls's and yoko avs es100's 8) though my tire size is 225/50/15, which most people will say that is the proper size for a e30 for a 225 on a 15" wheel. ive had them for a couple months and love them, no steering wheel vibration or shimmy and no performance loss on acceleration.

      LS's are good wheels. They seem to look real good on e30's. Especially with plastic bumpers. and i believe the correct tiresize with 225's on a 15 inch rim is 225/50/15. I've got es100's and have liked them for the 2 days that i've driven on them.

        they're pretty sexy.. a little heavy, but if they fit on a lowered ix without undertsized tires I'd probably own a set. ;)

          I have Ronals with an offset of 29. I would prefer these wheels in 16". They do NOT come in that size. I have 205 tires, and wish that I had gotten 225s. 205s are fine, but the 225s obviously would be a bit wider and therefore look a little better, imo. . I was concerned about clearance issues with the tire and suspension and fenders, so I bought the 205s. I have RE-750s btw, and so far they are a great tire.

                At one point almost two years ago they were doing their "last run" (I don't know if they still make them, from the sounds of you guys, they do) I ordered a set, and was really excited, as they are great looking wheels, in a nice size. After several weeks of their lying saying they would be in "in a few more weeks", I gave up and cancelled the order. I am now a very happy owner or some K-1's, and I actually am glad it worked out this way, as nice as they are.

                It doesn't sound like any of you have had problems, just giving a heads up.

                later

                  Ronals are pretty good for the money, you'd spend as much on them though as you would on a nice set of 15-inch baskets, but either wheel looks sweet on an E30

                      I think it has to do with this: http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/e30/4905591-1.html

                        It's a new movie the ATRT crew is starring in. Julien is in the collar and Andre is Capt. Greasy in the uniform.

                        Yan if you can get the really low offset ones I would say jump all over it. Those have a massive dish and blows away the euro basketweaves in look. If you are talking about the 25mm offset ones then they are still cool but dont stand out as much.
                        Im now E30less.

                            i'd rather go kosei b.c they are lightweight, but the ronals are the best looking wheel on e30s IMHO.

                            hey sweetie, no being a doo doo head. i said l LUV the alpina police.. i'll let you check my car for fake alpina parts ;-)
