I have a 1992 325i and am currently running these

I believe they came off an E46 they are 16"x7"
I just bought this set from a local guy and I know they are BBS but I don't know the name or what their value might be. They are 16"x7.5", what do you guys think of them?

My last thing is do you guys think 16" wheels are still too small for the E36? I really had my heart set on 17" but I don't know if an inch makes that much of a difference.

I have 17" ASA's on an e36 w/ stock suspension height. 7.5" width, fits fine. 16" looks alright but I prefer 17. Nice BBS though, like those shined lips.

Those look like RZ's. Not as desirable as RM's or RS's, and they're one piece.

With a little elbow grease they will be good as new!

You have any idea what they might be worth? I like them a lot but I feel like they would look better on an E30.

Probably because they look a lot like the BBS wheels that came stock on certain E30 models. If they are the same, I've seen them go on craigslist for around 4-500 a set.
Depends on what you are trying to go for. A 7.5 tire is a bit skinny if you're looking to put down the most rubber all around.
An inch does make a difference but E36s can look good with 16's. You should make sure they fit. What's the offset on your wheels?

Ok so this is really late but here are the specs of the BBS wheels 16x7.5 et 18, I don't understand anything on how this may or may not fit.
My current 16" wheels are 16x7 et 46.
Thanks again,

I was going to use the same tires if you think they would fit, 225 50 16.
Will it work? Why exactly would I need fender rolling?
I never thought I would see an E36 with 16" that looked that sick!

What type of a drop would you recommend? I plan on refinishing these wheels then maybe some eibach springs which I think drop it about an inch. Regardless they will rub without rolling the fenders, is that right?
