I would personally look for some BBS RM's. Should be able to get a half decent set for that much.

Alpina's also suit the e30. Don't know if you could get a staggered set for that much though.

BBS' have the ability to suit just about anything. They look great on a 2 door so a 4 will be fine.

Whatever your budget is, put half of it into rubber - that's what keeps you on the road. For the rest, just have a gander at the List:

If the budget doesn't stretch to Alpina's, have a look at the RG replica's. They're good quality, nothing like the dodgy BK 17" replica's

If I ever change my wheels I will be on the hunt for a set of these. I think the they look great on an E30:
