they are the old style 5 spoke compo mo's. all sizes upto 17" used to be 5 spokes and only the 18" wheel came in the 6 spoke design but they stopped producing the 5 spokes and now do the whole range in the 6 spoke design. i used to have a set of gold 18's on my last project.theyre meant to be a tough lightweight rally wheel but i snapped all the spokes on mine after a mid sized collision allowing the rims and tyres to come off the car and bounce off down the road.
they custom make them to your exact required offset/wheelstud pattern so can be made in the e30 4 stud fitment in 18's. about £200 per wheel in 18's iirc.

not sure what size they are but also hard to find dont think they make them anymore. the ones you find have a different centre (unless there just caps) ones in the pics above look better. you can find silver white and gold but black is hard and looks 2 me like above has had them coated to the body colour of his car as lip looks a different colour. car looks GOOD though!

I may be wrong of coure & will no doubt be corrected by one of the experts if this is the case! :?

i keep changing my mind, its bbs rs / compomotive mo / and now borbet A deep dish.....gone off azev now lol

Ant will know what size they are, I noticed this car in his workshop a couple of months ago, im guessing they are 17's purely because of the size of the brake calipers! Serious anchors! :)
