        Ronal turbos? My buddy has a brand new set - never had tires mounted for sale. I believe they are 16x something, if you are interested I can contact him. Wheels are located in CT

          They are OZ Futura copies...not just fake 2 piece wheels. I love the wheels and they look great on your car, but fake none the less.

              Yes I know they are Futura reps. They just don't look anything like them. The real wheels are usually ALWAYS much better looking than the replica. I absolutely love Futuras and will always want a set but I have come to realize that KT1s are just not worth it.

                I agree, the reps just don't have the right look. I think it's the shape of the lips and the center cap. Futura's or Mito's...:p

                    If you're not looking for the stretched look then keeping the KT1s isn't ever going to make you happy. I think Ronals are AWESOME wheels and they look amazing on silver E30s. Like I said 225/50s and you'll be happy.

                      Yeah I'm leaning towards Ronal's or BBS RZ's. It's not just the stretched look, it's the combination of the 9's up front, stretch tires, and having the car near slammed to pull the look off.

                      Only thing sucks about weaves is cleaning them. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

                              I take it back. Don't get the RZs. The Ronals are much better looking IMO. I pretty much hate the concave spokes like those on the RZs. The straight and not to mention fully machined LSs are super sweeet. PLUS the Ronals are .5" wider! :D

                                If I don't hear from in the next few days, I may go the Ronal route.

                                Just saw that thread with the E21 on the turbo's......got me thinkin now.......
