Just picked them up ... 3 brand new 15" and 2 brand new 14" all with centre caps !! Thinking of running the 14's on the front and 15's on the rear ....any probs with that or should I run 15's all round ??
ALso will the tyres from my bottle tops fit the 14's ?? bottles are 6x14 and the BBS are 6.5x14 ?? and do I need new mounting bolts ??

Thanks in advance ..... hoping to put Eagle f1's on the rear !!

Forgot to ask too ... 15's are et24 and 14's et30 .... <I remember a guy at BMW telling me once never put anything above et24 on the car ...will this cause a big prob if I put the 14's on the front ????

As long as you have the size wheel/tyre on each axle it will go through MOT. It shouldn't make any difference in making the front lower as the tyre on the 14" should be a higher profile making them about the same (I've been using a 14" and a 15" on the front for a little while and it makes no odds). The 14" is marked ET30 and it's an original E30 wheel.
IMO 15" all round would look a lot better. I do happen to have two 15" in excellent condition for sale! lol
