16" Hartges are my favourite, with proper 16" alpinas a close second.

This I can see, which is why I asked
I had a set of Schnitzer split rims on my E36 MԚ£ and they were a bout Ԛ£2ks worth

Il email the guy i know in germany who does these things but they certainly wont be cheap. Something around the 1k mark i would think.
Im ordering a set in 17" for myself fairly soon, they are my favourite wheel for the e30!

Ok, called my mate in Germany.
He says he can get hold of 2 sets of these in 16" within a week or so. They would then need to be refurbed, which he does himself to an amazing standard (its good enough for c76jon to have a set himeslf). This would take about 2 weeks.
Price would be Ԛ£1200 a set plus shipping to the UK
This is a lot of money but not unreasonable at all, these are SOOO rare!
Im still trying to figure out a way to pay him for the set he has ready for me
