VW 14x6 4x100 ET45 but they super slightly rubbed the tie-rod end when the car was on the lift but only when rolling backward.
turbodiesel.com says they are called "VW flying wheels"
They are 16lb 4oz so they are great for snows. We tried to sell them but eventually put them on a saturn SL1 for the winter. Oh yea, Saturn 14" steelies fit the e30.

The reason you'd use a spacer is if the tires were rubbing on the struts, or if the wheel design is such that it won't clear E30 brakes (but since they are so small, that's not too likely).
