    Cars don't have offsets, wheels do.

      Factory 15x7 are ET24.

        16" rota grids are 14-15 pounds. Needs spacers tho. Just a suggestion.

          Well... he did say 15" and the lightest, the Grid being neither of those.

          And they are 14.5lbs.

            LOL. Thank you. Rota Grids in 16"? Are you kidding me?

            I forgot about Kodiak, I'll check those out.

            I wish I could find a set of VOLK TE37 Magneisum with an offset of 25. Mmm...to dream.

              Looks like about 360 a pop for 15x7 Kodiaks.

              Not a bad price.

              No mention of weight.

                If you're going to dream, dream big. A while ago I contacted Dymag about their carbon fiber / magnesium wheels. Their 18x10 weighs 15.0 lbs, but cost $1760 each!

                  Good point. I wonder what their 15x7 would weigh :D...

                    Doubt they honestly would bother making a wheel that small due to limited market these days.

                        If you can afford over $7k in wheels, you would not be installing them on an E30. The E30 is wonderfully entertaining, but it's no GT3.

                          You'd be surprised what some people spend on E30's...

                          EDIT: Yes, over $7k in wheels is excessive.

                            I'm suprised nobody has mentioned some Team Dynamic's wheels. Try bimmerworld.com for them. 15x7, et23 (I believe), ~14lbs. And inexpensive.

                              Have those. I'd like to get into the 9lb range.

                                Here are some Advans, only supposed to be a whisker more than the TE's in that size. http://www.pandagarage.com/wheels%20page/Advan%20RG.htm and here is the site with more info: http://www.pandagarage.com/wheels.html
