They're utterly ordinary. Completely inoffensive but BMW makes a lot better 5 stud alloys than that. Stick to your BBS.

Those adaptors are 20mm thick, what would that make the total offset with those wheels?

To be honest I think those wheels looks okay on your car, they are not very nice looking but they are frankly very okay and I wouldnt be afraid of using them if I had an E30! But I would never ever buy an adapter to use them, then I would spend time and some money to convert my E30 from 4 to 5 studs...

If i were going to use a 5 stud bmw wheel i'd get myself a set of e36 328i sport 17" Split rim BBS's with the wider rears.They'd look sooo much nicer than those plain e46 wheels on your car matey
