Those are the ones with the BBS style basket centers, right? They
came with gold or black centers, if I recall correctly.
I used to see them a lot on '02's and 320i's. Those things are gold
to the autocross/solo guys since they have to run
OEM diameter. It's hard to find 15" wheels wider than 7", and they
like to run 225/50-15 Toyo RA-1's, which like at least
7.5", and preferably 8" wide wheels. You shouldn't have any trouble
unloading them, if you decide not to use them yourself.

I was visiting my brother last weekend and he asked if I wanted a

wheels for my Golf. What he had was a set of 3 Piece Epsilon Racing
Wheels.
I remembered these from way back when. The set he offered are
15x7.5" and
15x8 in a hubcentric 4x100 bolt pattern. Unfortunately, they are
approximately 10mm offset so I will have to use spacers OR get new
barrels
made. He found them in an old BMW 2002 in a salvage yard. They were in
descent condition. The lips need polishing but the centers are in good
shape. I will likely have to have new lips made anyways if I want
them to
fit over my Corrado Brakes and still clear the front fenders. But
the rears
fit well and fill the wheel wells to the very edge. What's amazing
is that
these wheels weigh a paltry 15lbs each!
According to Kodiak in Canada, they can make chromed and polished
barrels in
my desired offset for about $198 per wheel. More stuff to throw
into my MKII
parts bin.
