Maybe something off a golf rather than an e30?

do you know how wide they are?

If for a VW they would be 6 or 6.5 inch only - you really want 7 inch for the E30 IMHO

Oakey it is Diamond Black but is rotten and almost all panels have been badly scratched :mad:
Car is an absolute nail,scuttle and arches are rotten but it does have a tidy Black sport leather.
Just phoned BMW to try and confirm an LSD fitted but they couldnt say for sure so think ill give it a miss.
Oh and the wheels are 7 x 15!
Couple more pics the owner just sent me.
Apparently been stood for 2 years :mad:

Yes but im not sure this one is a sport.
Front skirt isnt an Mtec1 and no Black headlining!
My guess is its an SE at the most as it has OBC etc.

I reckon they are BBS (spoke pattern is identical) but not as fitted to BMW originally. Look at the outer lip. I've not seen a "BMW" BBS that you cant fix a clip on balance weight onto. These would have to be balanced with stick on weights or clip ons if the inner lip is suitable. Weird?

He can't be after more than £400 in that condition I guess it's a none runner?

I noticed that too,along with f+r spoilers missing!
Got the colour coded metal bumpers on though which do look like original paint?Think they were sport only?

I tried ringing BMW to get some info on spec but without the VIN they couldnt tell me anything.

Hmm... with some bmw style centre aps I thought they looked pretty much the same.. maybe the ones I showed were a bit smaller...

:o: Guess I'm wrong though... I'll go and stand in the corner.

They look like e24 m6 wheels m8!!! The 6's are metric and five stud tho. :?
it could be worth pulling a centre cap off and counting the bolts. it could be a nice find winkeye
More likely they're probably just a set of random 80's bbs wheels that you see from time to time.
Like the set of 4 stud 16 inch bbs's i sooo should have bought when i found them years ago on m3 rep.
i've never seen another set :cry:
