The Ronals look fantastic on your car! Very nice. My wife & I plan to move back out to DC in the next year or two. I look forward to seeing your car in person one day!

Cheers

I'm a sucker for some clean stock basketweaves but I must say those Ronals really suit your car very well! Good choice

Thanks! I just cleaned up the stock basketweaves yesterday. I may refinish the 4 that were on the car. The spare wheel doesn't appear to have ever been out of the trunk. It's the original spare tire with no wear, which I swapped for one with a good tire.

No problem. I really would've liked to run something like the Star Spec (available in 205/50), but the 205/55 is the closest-to-stock size and works well on a stock-ish ride height like mine. I'm impressed with the Yokohama S Drives so far.

Agreed with this - I sized down by '5' when I ordered new tires (Falken 615K's) and its visibly noticeable to me how much smaller the tire sidewall looks. And I'm lower than you as well, its still noticeable. I'll be sizing back up when I get new wheels and tires next season.

I am so glad I jumped on a set of these wheels as well. Thanks for posting! Car looks stunning...now I just need spring to roll around

Nice! They're going to look great on your car.

Looks awesome. And thank you for posting the details on your choice between 55 Vs 50 sidewall tires. I had the same dilemma but now this has helped me make a final choice. Thanks!

Those Ronal's on a perfectly clean Alpine white car look amazing. The reasonably deep lip on the wheels looks very correct on E30's.

Thanks!

Car is looking very clean! What's next? Side skirts?

Thanks! No quite sure what is coming next. I've been looking for a small case 4.10 LSD. I may need to move my exhaust plans up as I think I have a small leak (need to confirm). I'd also like to repair my driver's side seat bolster as the vinyl has started to crack in a couple spots.
