16x9 probably. et25 front and et15 rear with 225 45s, or et25 all round with 10mm spacers on rear. others may know better but thats what i reckon.

Wrong.
What you have to remember is the wider the wheel for the E30, the ET changes.

I would think those pictured would be 9j with an ET of about 10.

OP, you're looking at about £2k for rims like that, or you could by some reps for a few hundred

Are the wheels in the OP genuine or reps? How can you tell?

I'm sure they are Genuine, seen the car before and remember reading the specs.
I have a set of Genuine BBS RS 003's in 9.5j and 8.5j 16", and they stand me at £2.5k

The money is not really the problem. It's finding a set, they seem quite rare. So I'll have to get some reps Lenzo bsx or something until a real set come up for sale.

So they are not staggered? I've found a really good website www.willtheyfit.com
