Hi can any alloy wheel specialists help with this? possibly looking at rota rewind wheels. they are 15x7 but are et40. is this fitment any good on an e30?? will they sit further in the arch than bbs??

They will sit too far into the arch and most likely rub on the strut. You can use them (assuming the PCS is correct... VW 4 stud?) if you get hold of some extended wheel bolts and hubcentric spacers. you'll need 15mm spacers to get back to ET25, however anything up to ET15 (25mm spacers) should still handle ok and look a bit more agressive :)

I've just googled, for them... nice wheels :)

Take it, it's worth it for the 'right' wheels. You'll be waiting until he's finished with me and my TH Monos anyway!
