The wheels on that black e30 must be BBS RS. The reason why i said, im sure ive seen this pic somewhere, is because Mr Verde copied it and stuck it on his facebook page :rolling:

And verde, image wheels can go that deep as their real split wheels

Im going deeper on the rears as soon as my tires are in need of changing 8)

The wheels in the pic do look like BBS RS's, but I would guess they have custom-widened outer lips, as I would find it hard to believe they were THAT wide from factory.

Also they'll be pain the ass to fit - the rears look like 10J lolz

Easy to buy replacement dishes :) eg. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-INCH-ALUMI ... 3ca335df3a

The old 8 series BMW looks to have stupidly wide dishes..?

The rears are a 10j custom built set, i think the ET is about 10, but you would need to sort out the rear arch to fit them.

Well im running 9j rears with a 3" dish, when i buy my new outer rims i will be buying 3.5" dishes widening my wheels to 9.5j

10j is do able but you risk rubbing or even damaging the wheel and bodywork.

But saying that im contemplating whether to sell the wheels and going for 17s so i can have more ground clearance

You will need to part with best part of 3k if you want the bbs rs ....
But imo they are the best wheels ever made for the e30... worth the money ..
