There's a lot of info on the spec & sizing page, but if you scroll down, there are some specs for an E30. What worries me is the 59.1 mm hub center measurement (on the 15x7.5 - I love the look of the black 15x8's but I'm thinking those are too wide for our cars.) Our hub centers are 57.1 mm, yes?

I'm really liking the WEIGHT of these wheels, and I think the looks are certainly acceptable. I have H&R 29946 springs and Koni SA's on my car, and I am trying to figure out if these wheels will work for me in the summer. My "wheel width; offset etc" knowledge is lacking, so please chime in with any expertise.

I really really like those. What all is needed to run them? Centering rings I assume and probably spacers depending on which width.

Yeah, that's what I want to know too. Though, if you read through all the details, they say hub-centricity is not a concern and they list some spacing requirements depending on the rim width. They have a SPEC E30 wheel at 15 x 7" too. I think I will call and have them address a few of my questions. I'll report back with what I find out.
