Hi, I have a 1988 E30 2dr saloon, & I want to put some 15's on it that are exactly the same size offset etc as the BBS 15's that came on the 325is. But I want to go for aftermarket wheels that are lighter. Which companies do 15's in this size & which would be the lightest & best choice. Also does anyone know the exact size of the standard BBS wheels I refer to, cheers.

Borbet Wheels are pretty light...the 16" wheels on my bro's cab weigh alot less than the standard 15" bbs's.

And they look :cool:
