Actually, I do like 3SDMs and they are supposed to be "classic" wheels, because they look very similar to Borbet A's and similar wheels from that period.

They are indeed an 80s wheel, but a blatent rip off of the testarossa wheel.

The main difference being these 3STD wheels are going to be made from a chinaman's helmet cheese.

I've never been one for style over substance.

I doubt they are THAT bad in quality, otherwise everyone would be complaining about them...

They're pretty common on Audis and VWs, if you search around some forums.

Found a few more photoshop pics for an E30:

I think 16's on a clean E30 would look nice. Mind you, it's not for those who want 100% original look, but for those who want to stand out a bit without being too silly.

Get some real RS's/RM's and build their specs to suit the car.

I prefer E30's with actual classic wheels rather than these which are just a fad at the moment

They look similar to the Compomotive 5-spoke alloys, such as these:
