Wow I hope that isn't your car. Those tires are stretched to the point of being beyond dangerous... Looks like it is riding on the sidewalls!

Man...don't go on any vw forums.....that's a mild stretch! You'll blow a gasket.

I wish they were my wheels, those are hot.

I planed on putting these HTNs on it when it was mine.

E30 steel wheels came standard on 91 318i 4 door models while two door 318is coupes came standard with E30 basketweaves. Try looking for 91 318i wheels, they came black but spray painted silver, they will look a lot like Alpina steel wheels. I've had two sets of them but sold them both (upgraded to bottlecaps on one car and parted the other car out). The plastic hubcaps that came with the E30 steel wheels make good frisbee's.

For interest's sake, here's what a set of 15" E30-style steelie reps look like. I'm not really feeling the look:

Those would look MUCH better in all silver or silver rims with black or dark grey centers.
