I think the offset is not right.
You can mount them, but you have to use spacers, at least in the front...

don't look right to me- not enough backspacing- these were never OEM E30 wheels!

best for a front wheel driver I think!

A business like that, advertising non-BMW wheels as oem and not supplying the vital statistics on wheels can't be considered a serious business imho anyway. Worth 50 quid max and only if there are some decent tyres on them.
