They are pretty deep dish probably about 2" and wider than any of the ones I have seen on beamers. Can't wait to polish them and get the car repainted.
It's a diamond, and it isn't that rough either.

Nothing quite like a EURO diesel with manual and one in last year of production; the gray market for them was still booming but that was near to when when the gravy train ended
and for all intents ad purposes the gray marked collapsed in '86

Looks like this was one of the last ones to make it over before the door shut.
