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.

i dont spose anyone know wat size they are. im thinking either 16's or 17's. want to order a set but dont want to go and order 17's if there 16's cause they look just right.

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! :)
