I don't pretend to be any sort expert :wink: but I have been looking for similar and what I have found is:

Depends if you are looking for new or second hand, second hand good nick, not mint Ԛ£400-500, brand new closer to Ԛ£800 http://www.elite-design.co.uk does them for example.

Problem is second hand is pretty rare so even not brillant condition ones have quite a high price.

Generally people seem to rate the 15" as being the optimal size for the E30, 16" is OK, 17" start to lose performance for looks. For me the 16" is a nice compromise between the 2. Have a search around the site as there are several threads covering this.

the 16"s seem to be the "perfect" size for the e30 hence why alpina used 16" and hartge used 16"

theres hardly any difference in ride between 15's and 16's on a sport mate, as the ride is firm as standard. Snap them up they are the best! that cos i have 'em :wink:

Mint set no more than Ԛ£700 with 16x8 rears

Buy these rims new! There are none left been out of production for years!!!

Oh these rims bend easily so check they are all dead straight
