I am currently reading a book on the history of the M3. Found out that the rims on the e30 were actually made by BBS and badged as BMW. That's just awesome!

A lot of older BMWs have BBS wheels. I dont know until when but even the E39 still has BBS wheels. At some point they switched to Ronal.

BBS did that alot in that era, my 1988 Mazda RX-7 had the same wheels, manufactured by BBS.

Lots of manufacturers do/did this. In fact the majority of cars roll out on OE wheels made by the likes of BBS, Ronal, Speedline, OZ etc.
