Azev A or Ronal R10 ? Pics

[Coco Savage]

keep both

[soul rebel]

I like the looks of the A's on your car. The offset looks good as is. I've never been a big fan of ronal turbos though.

separate winter and summer tire packages, :P

Azev's look much better on that car.

Ssshhhhh, stop talking.

Ronals. End thread.

LOL. I was feeling that way about the AZEVs.

LOL. I was feeling that way about the AZEVs.

Even though I just bought a set of balla' ass 17 x 8's, I know a few guys in Tulsa who are CAD/manufacturing guys, I may look into some 17 x 8/9 custom made Ronal reps with a tiny bit of lip.

I'm pretty sure it would be the absolute most badass set of wheels you could put on an E30.

[Dave McLaren]

I'll dissect this further. The Ronals would be more period on an earlier DB car, as their peak was around '85. I ran them on my '84 GTI... in '86, and I bought 'em used then.

The AZEVs hit their peak in the early '90s. E36s and E34s were the Bimmers with them, and often on 911s too. So on this car, I'd go with the AZEVs. Besides, those Ronals appear to be the ones with too much offset. I had the 15x7" lower offset ones, deeper with more dish, on the GTI.

azev's are more modern, Ronal's look more period to the car. It depends which way you plan to go with the rest of the mods. Personally, i am a period kind of guy, so i vote Ronals.

[Dave McLaren]

Now that would be absolutely, off-the-charts sick. I like your thinking! But don't stop at a tiny bit of lip: give 'em a heaping helping of dish.

Hahahahaha, all of us are holding on to late '92, that's why we drive E30's.

But serioulsy some 17 x 9 Ronal Turbo reps would be badass.

I'd ask who is in, but the typical R3V'r runs Sportmaxxors with 40k mile tires.

They make those... they are called Schmidt TH Lines. They don't make 17" 4x100, but they make some nasty staggered sets in 16".

[Dave McLaren]

LOL, I'm that guy with frickin' Sportmax at the moment, but you know the Style 5s are going on with the M3 5-lug.

I'll be a douche and give you the classic non-committal, worthless internet response that if you do them and they come out hawt, I'd be totally interested.

I saw those a lot on the vortexer cars when I had my project GTI, which of course I didn't finish and bailed out to focus on my E30 project. Anyway, the Schmidts are quite similar, but there's something different, and not just the rim bolts, that just don't do it for me. I'd often wondered why the low offset Turbos hit my nerve but the Schmidts didn't.

Yes, YOU'RE 16's are hawt, but for me less than 17" is a waste, mainly based on tire choice.

There is basically shit for 16" tire choice when it comes to 16" badboy sticky street tires.

Yeah you can get them in awesome 17" sizes too. I'm sure if you ordered them new, they could drill them to be 4x100.
