AFAIK you can't get 5x120 to 4x100 adapters.

Could be wrong though.

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?

Very dodgy in my opinion.
And the wheels just dont suit your car josh.

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 :wink:

Yeah few guys have done it here in the US on www.r3vlimited.com but they did 5 lug swap kits. Also they used the larger 330i 17" E46 wheels.
