I know a few things...

I like using factory wheels.

Some early BMW used a 4x100 bolt pattern.

Mostly they were 14 & 13 inch wheels.

Was there ever a factory, 4x100, 15" wheel? 6" or so width is what I am after.

Anybody?

Yes, the E30 ix weaves were 15x7 ET 42ish, IIRC. "Euroweaves" are 15x7 ET 25, IIRC.

Yes, but in the US you could only get it on the 325 mTechnic, which is extremely rare.

325ix wheels look great on MkIII Volkswagens, too. I'll have to get some pictures.

I'm looking for a set of meshes right now for a Miata I might buy.

I found a set of e21 mesh wheels with 13 offset, anybody know if they will fit a 91 Miata?

ix wheels work on non-ix cars, but they have a LOT of offset. It kinda sets the wheel too far in the hole if you ask me.

I'm pretty sure the e30 baskets came in 15x6, et27 or so?
