Alloy wheel recommendations for E30 M3

Seeing as RH Toplines are getting sold, what other wheels do you reckon would look good on a E30 M3 convertible?
Azev A, Borbet B, BBS, Alpina?
Budget is around £800 so no RS's

£800 should get a really nice set of staggered style 5s.
Should be able to get a set of alpinas or hartges for that too, as 17in 5 stud versions don't seem to make as much as other sizes or fitments.
Even deep dish style 32s look good.
Avoid Azev and borbet like the plague.

I don't do standard, I have 16" BBS but they'll be winter wheels.
Don't think RM come in 17".
What about Contour's or E34 M5 wheels:

Contours will look crap.
M5 wheels can look good

Fill and re-drill. Grand job!
Only said RM's based on budget and will hold their value!

Style 5's Imy, especially in staggered fitment as mentioned by Harry, a timeless wheel.

BBS RK BBS RX BBS RC BBS RS2 would be be a better choice

If you like BBS RS, then you could get some replica ones like Dare RS. They look pretty decent, but I can't comment on quality as never had them myself. About £400 for a set, plus tyres, so £800 would be more than enough.
