          Doesn't look bad but it's just too plain looking I think.

            They are... I actually like the factory look. Wonder why BMW didn't put 16" bottle caps on the car in the first place.

            Before I know it, I'll be restoring everything else to factory look.

                What size tire's would you run? 16's have no good tire size's.

                    therefore, their value is much greater.

                      Found a set of those wheels locally... iono, they look neat on e38, but I'm debating whether to try them on e30 with high arches.

                        A buddy tried this, I believe it was really close diameter wise but fit. He did have issues with the anti-rattle clips on the calipers hitting his spokes, so a 3-5mm spacer would probably be needed. He had them mounted on the car with no anti rattle clips, but I wouldn't consider that "fitting".

                          Any way to get a side view of this? And if you mounted them, what size tire did you run?

                          Anyone have a picture or two of something close to 16x9 in et20 on e36 318ti on the rear?

                            my RZ don't fit?

                            Bumping this back. I have a nice clean set of RZ's 16x8 et23 and apparently it won't work with the E36M3/318ti rear without sticking out? Am I missing something? I was hoping I could run some meat on these to get some traction.

                                It seems to me (and I could be wrong) but that a whole lot more 16" wheels fit the e36 m3 stuff than not - contrary to internet wisdom.
