Thinking of getting these wheels for my car

LINK (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-M-SPORT-15-BBS-Alloy-Wheels-BRAND-NEW-DUNLOP-TYRES-4x100-VW-GOLF-/300849277255?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_ Car_Wheels_ET&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW%7CPlat_Gen%3AE30&hash=item460c03a947)

But the PCD and bore size is wrong for my car so i have 3 options really

1st Is to find hubs that fit my car and the wheels my preferred option
-if anyone knows of hubs that will please let me know even if the correct pcd but not bore size

2nd Is to get my current hubs machined to to correct PCD and wheels to correct bore size and to the BMW thread so i can use the proper BMW bolts

3rd give up but dont really want to

I know a very good professional engineer who could do this job properly

here some info

106 wheel spec

pcd = 108

offset = 15 - 20

Bore = 65.1mm


Bmw e30

pcd = 100

offset = 24

bore = 57.0 mm


Difference

pcd = -8

offset +4

Bore = -8.1

erm why? they are horrid and will look shit.

Would need adapters to fit. can get them on Europerformance under h&r or if your engineer mate is any good he will be able to make you some.

Lol. Or you could just get some dare versions of them brand new in the correct offset and not worry about adapting or messing about with spending a fortune on machine work to bodge a set of wheels.
