Seen these for sale and wanted to know what they were fitted to originally, if anything.

Apparently they are 7x15 with an offset of 13.

Would love them for my e30, but want to get a set and refurb them myself

Nice one Lee...done a bit more research and I think you're right with the name 'mahles', also something to do with 'Rennsport' came up.

Just got to find me a set now...that's not crazy money!

on the third picture down if you look closely you will see it stamped 'mahle' next to the locking nut.
