HI, IM NEW TO THE E 30 BMW BUT NOT TO MODIFING. I'VE JUST BOUGHT A 316i lux, AND IM VERY HAPPY WITH IT APART FROM THE WHEELS (A BIT ON THE SMALL SIDE). I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT OTHER BMW WHEELS AND THE MV ONES REALLY TAKE MY EYE BUT A HAVE RANG ROUND A FEW PLACES AND THEY ONLY DO THEM IN 5 STUD PATTENS FOR THE LATER TYPE.
I DONT WANT TO SETTLE FOR ANY AFTER MARKET ONES SO ANY ADVISE WOULD BE A HELP.
THANKS.

yeah pretty much all the nice wheels are 5 stud, you can do a hub conversion using parts off m3 and/or e36,
but there is a few off us on here looking into getting some hub adaptors made up to go from 4 to 5 stud.

sorry mate, didnt mean to.
What sort of price are you looking at for the hub conv. they dont sound cheap?
Has anybody got any measurements / dimentions for the hubs, i might be able to sort something out.
Its a long shot but i know a few poeple that work in the machining business.
