The Ronal LS's are an awesome E30 wheel. 15", like the Euro baskets, but they're 1/2" wider, and a little shinier. The Euro weaves are a silver painted finish, and the Ronal are a polished machine finish. Either setup is an excellent choice.

I believe these wheels look best (and have the tightest rear fitment) with 225 in the rear.

The Ronal LS are probably the nicest looking and best fitting wheel for the e30. Costs $$$, but worth it.

Not that pricey at all. I remeber looking at them and many US vendors sell for about $120 USD each. Of course that means about $600 CAD each now doesn't it?

I also heard that Ronal pulled out of the US market, and thus there are far fewer new sets available. Don't quote me, though.

+1. I remember reading that Ronal wheels were heavy? Mark I think I want to get a set of these as well. We should price out a group buy?

Well I am hoping to buy Ian NFLD's set as per the top level post with link I attached. $1200 is a fair price with near new Yokohama ES100 rubber . Not sure who sells them in N/A though, Ebay has none, neither does Bavauto or Pelican
