are they just the normal 16" bbs from an e34? but on smaller tyres (makes em look bigger/more special hence rarer?). they are nice though....i think they will look :thumb: on your iS

They'd look cool.

It is becasue they've got lower profile tyres on that they look different.

Go for it!

8 series wheels work on an e30 m3 Karan. The tyres are the right profile too.
