I'm looking into aftermarket wheels made by MKW
4x100 Centerbore is 73mm.
I know the E30 centerbore is 67mm...so what can be done to make these wheels fit?

i allways thought the e30 centre bore was 57.1mm same as 4 stud vw's and yes spigot rings will do the job.

whoops your right... Spigot rings are "centering rings" right?
Well atleast... in the US all I know is the term centering rings.

Yes center bore is 57.1mm as the hub is 57mm
I would recommend you get wheels that fit correctly and don't use the hubcentric rings. I have noticed that over time they go out of round and cause balance issues. i know others have never had problems with them but imho if it's not the right size to start with it's not he right wheel for the car.
