Well, I don't think the car is made for 14 inches. I think BMW was trying to get where the ride is not too rough and appeal to the masses. The driving dynamics would change if wider and larger wheels were put on it and lowered about 1". But not everyone wants that feel, and BMW probably try to get somewhere in between.

Now, I do understand your logic and most on these forums agree with your logic, I am just not one of them.

Congrats on the find. Get rid of those old tires NOW before you have an unfortunate event.
Both my E30s are <50k miles and neither one was a steal but they are certainly keepers.
Drive in good health and make sure your timing belt is new.
Buy and refinish these wheels with your new tires.
