Yes, thats a Seat wheel.. But then they do use VW running gear.. Only trouble is the offset? E30s are 20mm, those Seats are 38mm, so they don't quite sit right (at least without spacers) but they do look nice from the side..

The pic in my avatar is running on those with no spacers.. Though they do sit back from the arches. And if your wanting wide tyres, you might rub up against the damper..
Those wheels listing a width?

et38? I'm guessing you want spacers, and a quality set at that.. The arches might want rolling, but massive wheels don't look right at standard ride height..
And don't forget the e36's have larger arches and bigger wheels as standard... 16's look big on an e30 at the right drop..
