i've heard tell that E30's that were supplied with 15" BBS from the factory had a 15" steel BBS spare wheel... i can't find any more info on this though
did they exist and if so, are they available?
a long shot...

Erm mine was, HOWEVER I bought a spare BBS from egay and dumped the steelie, In my next sport it came with BBS from the factory but the spare was a bottle top. Don't know if the bottle top was factory.gareth wrote:i've heard tell that E30's that were supplied with 15" BBS from the factory had a 15" steel BBS spare wheel... i can't find any more info on this though

If your thinking banded steels how about ford steelies? The type on sub cheapo level escorts models like the bonus! they are 4 stud and iirc pcd 100. not sure on offset but imo if your going to cut and weld them you caneither live with it or change that too.

not 4x100 on a ford
there are plenty of 15" 4x100 steelies out there, even 16" from a laguna but there's something cool about a 15" BBS steel
and yes, banding is an option

The Spare wheel on the E30 was whatever the car was spec'd with from factory.
My old E30 H reg 325ise with 15" BBS had a BBS as a spare.
The Steel wheel was only ever a 14"
