Thanks to Jason I have the spacers I need to fit the Ronal rims so I gave one a try to see how it looks. I kind of like it so just need some longer wheel bolts now and a set of tyres. I do have a set of dished MiMs going spare which I thought about spraying satin black?

I can put the split rims away till the spring.

I really like the Ronal wheels, how thick is the spacer you are using? And what is the size of the wheels?

The baur has come to a halt at the mo due to cold weather.
Gets to cold to work onwhere it is.
Come new year will pull finger out and get it ready and maybe a respray.
Not that it needs it but just to give it more wow facter.

Got these in ze post from Germany today. They were cheap because they had no fittings so the hunt is on, unless anyone has any other solutions/ideas?

Leave 'em black. I think they will look awesome in Gloss Black with lots of Laquer.

If your car was a standard period car, then i would say a no go, but its not so i think they will look pretty cool.

I got some dodgy DTM mirrors on my Violet car. Hate them !!!!

I think they look really nice and suit the era of the car. Lots of period Opel, VW & BMW used them iirc.

I just need to get fittings to mount them properly.
