Ian's wheels to me look like a standard fit 17 inch wheel for an E30. Might be something to do with the porker brakes!

Dont know why but I love the look of the standard BBS wheels on mine but the fact that the car is lowered at least 60+mm helps.

Yeah i am going the schnitzer way on my cab, but got a set of 16inch MK rims on my sport which i have never seen on anyones car. only seen em in older BM mags, which is a shame cause the missus doesnt know what low tyre pressures do on rough roads and dinged a rim quite badly so would love to find another
