If they're on an E30 then they're 4-Stud 16" Alpina - fairly obvious no?

Available in 7J wide at the front and 7 or 8 at the rear.

Well the only way they can be 17" is if it's had a 5 stud conversion?

The ones in the first pic do - they're on an E30.

The 17" 5-Stud E36 ones don't look that different.

Definitely not E30 16" 4-stud wheels - look at the outer lip for the most obvious sign.

Not E36 wheels either (unless there are 2 types?) - the spokes don't protrude onto the dish far enough to be those.

So I'd go with them being E34 jobbies - mainly because there are rather more of them around than RLEs (the only 4-stud option)!

They look like e34,e32 alpina's to me if it has a 5 stud conversion but they can be z1 alpina alloys as they came 4 stud but are very rare!

The ones in the first pic are E34/32 ones for sure.

There are two types of E36 Alpina rim as well.

E31 Alpinas are the widest at 17"x10J!
