    This one?? If so i think they look real good. Someone on here had them p-shopped onto there black e30. The only thing is that they only come in 5 lug, or at least thats what the website says.

      I like that particular style of Rondell wheel (the #58 )....classic cross-spoke style alloy. A while back I was doing some wheel shopping and I called a vendor that carried these (I can't remember which one....I called so many), but apparently its only available 5x120mm bolt pattern......in other words, its a perfect fit for any BMW except us 4-bolt E30s.

      I was interested in the 16x7.5 style #58, and its only available with a ET 35mm offset......perfect for E36 325i/is. I'm in the process of getting E30 M3 suspension and brakes installed on my car, and although I will have the 5x120mm bolt pattern, in order to make it work on my car I will need 10-12mm thick spacers.

      Its a dam shame its not made to fit E30s......its a great looking wheel.

            Here's a pic of Dave Adams' old cabrio with 16" BBS RK wheels. I'm fairly certain they were 7" wide (maybe 7.5"). Not sure of the offset or if spacers were needed.

              RK's are 7 inches wide (in 16" fitment) and would require a 10mm spacer (offset is et35).

                  Look at the picture Jon posted. Or go to Dave's site (www.davelength.net) and luck under his modifications. There should be picks of his car after he installed the GC's.
