What are some classic (and cool but obscure)1980s aftermarket rims for Euro cars? The only thing I can think of at the moment are Ronal Turbos and BBS stuff.
Whatchu got?

RW made a lot of cool 80's rims. I personally really like the pirelli P rim but I don't think they were aftermarket.
Love the BBS!
Here are my fakes on my 80s-mobile.
Not euro (or are they?) but I have a set of 4x100 15x7 Panasports I'm thinking of using on the Fit. They're freshly blasted and have the caps. I know these old rims can be worth some coin. Any guesses how much these might go for?
SSR also made some really awesome mesh wheels in the 80s.
I've currently got a set of staggered 17x8 17x9 BBS RS's being refinished for my next E30 project.
You can buy the R9 cap from Ronald still.
I think the Gotti J55 and the compmotive turbo rank up their with the RS and Ronals

They no longer have the size and style that I need.
I thought Ronal got out of the aftermarket wheel business, at least in the States?? I seem to recall they're doing OEM stuff only now. Their website (www.ronalusa.com) is blank.

Well that sucks. I had those on my E28 and bought the caps from them. Send me an email here with the part number.
Folks mostly associate Enkei 92s with imports, but you really can't go wrong with a classic '80s mesh, and they were put on euro and euro-inspired '80s cars as well. One of three sets I have:
Looks good on an E30 IMHO:

You have mail.
I've got a set of the "rare" 13x6 +13 exim meshies from a early 3 series bimmer, with center caps, and a set of 14x6 +33 ATS "sterns" without center caps.
oh and naturally, a set of polished pirelli p slots
I have been toying with buying every version of this wheel I can, waiting for them to make a comeback! I already have a Borbet set I picked up for $20!
Can't forget the Arelli Assassyns either!
I almost committed my first "wheel before the car" purchase this spring when I stumbled across a set of these in 16", Mustang bolt pattern. Ready to go rollin in my 5.0
The meshes were so popular the Japanese started putting them on their cars from the factory!
