The idea is we click on the photo, and then we get to see it full screen.
You'll get into trouble if you post large pics actually on the forum.
Got a list of original E30 wheel options somewhere - there are quite a few.
They're not from any newer model BMW than the E30, as they would have one too many bolt holes, unless someones done a five stud conversion on yours.
If those are originals, then they are well worth restoring, but they don't look that bad in the photo.

got some close ups, I really like the look of them, how much would a refurb be and how long do they last, is it a case of sand blasting and re-coating?
