these are on my e30, all the paper work i have indicates that they were on the car when it was bought new from the dealership, but i can't find other e30's with them, they're rolling on 175/70/14's, i know they're not worth anything, jus wondered if anyones got them or had them??

Try putting your VIN into RealOEM; it may come up with the wheel...

Also, genuine BMW wheels will be stamped with the logo.

Refurbed with matching centre cap colour, they'd be quite attractive, although they do look a tad small. Are they 14 inch or 15 inch?

14 inch, n yeah the tyres are pretty narrow, but i dont chuck it around much, so not fussed on the handling issues they cause, got a mk2 escort for the fun stuff, heres what they look like on the motor, not fantastic but not a minger, in my opinion anyway. and i'll try n have a good look for any markings etc, cheers for the info lads.

They look like a very early set of Rimstock wheels, probably 20+ year old model,
I had a set on a car about then,
:D
