there are many wheel options available for E30's - IMHO the Alpina-style looks the best. The original Alpina's are still available, but they are pricey. Here is a good-looking knock-off for about half the price:
that link is sweet, but there is no place to purchase the rims. even though Ijust ordered some, itd still be nice to know if I ever wanted to buy some there.

I've only been able to find 92 - now wheels.
i just bought wheels for my '86 325es, and you have to use an adaptor kit to put them on. This is because the BMW offset is an odd one, and there aren't many wheels made with that offset. so you pretty much just have to buy wheels with the proper bolt pattern and then by an offset adaptor.

You bought a set of multi fit wheels that were manufactered for FWD (front wheel drive) application hence the need for hub spacers.
There are plenty of aftermarket wheels out there for 4x100 wheels in BMW proper offsets.

the problem is that they're harder to find and really expensive
