BBS RA question

[PSloan]

I'm buying a set of BBS RAs from a local e30 guy and I have a question about them. It's a set I've never seen before - they are 14x6 et30. I have never seen a set of 14'' RAs - only the 15s on VWs. The guy says that they are OEM e30 options and that they were cast in 84. Anyone ever seen a similar set?

I had a set before but they were et33. Not sure what it came oem on. I never installed them as I got 15" RAs

Are you sure they are not RZ's? Those are 14x6 and et30.

No, they are RAs. I have 14'' RZs on my e30 and had a pair of 15'' RZ378s on my coupe.

These ones look just like this and are 14'' et 30 (maybe 33 now that I'm thinking about it)

[what?]

i was under the impression that they had the offset cast in the face of them is this right?

i was looking at a set but they had et40 stamped on them.

Make sure they don't take the long bolts for the e30.

Some early e30 RA's took a 40mm length bolt. This will require a special mag shank 60* taper lug nut to fit them on an 02.

This is just the kind of info I needed. where the hell do I get that kind of lug nut?

I may have a set.

I may have a set.

I don't know if that means that they are up for sale, but if so please let me know.

Thanks

IE also sells the longer bolts. Got mine there when I had RAs.
