As long as the ET is usable with spacers or for BMW fitment (ET28?) when they should be ok.

Problem is all 18" wheels look horrible on E30's due to the size and styles that these wheels come in.

Also you will loose your ride quality and handling. Dont go above 16" as a rule of thumb with these cars.

Dont listen to these people.. get some 22's.. and spinners! :roll:

Is your car lowered at all? 18's should fit the hole if not lowered.. but like above the ride will be dreadfull! Steering will be horrible too!

Keep looking in the parts for sale. All wheels in there are for E30s bar the very occasional E30 M3 (5 stud) wheels and people trying to sell other BMW wheels.

Other than that Ebay.co.uk, or Ebay.de if you think you can deal with germans for some alloys :)

There are other places too. Find out what sort of wheels you like first, then go on a hunt :D
