BMW W/ JDM rims? Offset question

I just recently acquire a 90 325is and plan to use it as my drift whore for now. I already have a good suspension base running the HR CUP kit but now I am stumped on the wheels. I love old enkie's, long champs XR4 and Watanabe RS8's. My problem is the the offset of the Bmw is around +25 to +27 and the rims are lower. I don't think any kind of adapter is wanted since I have had bad experiences with them. Does anyone have pics of an e30 with jdm rims? If so what are they??

Any help will be greatly appreciated. This isn't really a question I can ask my usual bimmerfourm so I have to turn to you all...

Why, because they are going to tell you the same thing I'm about to?

Get some nice, clean, european rollers. Enkie's on a BMW? I mean you gotta do what you gotta do, but there's a lot of companies making wheels for your car that will look and fit better.

"JDM TYTE YO" has no place on a BMW. What did the car come with anyway? You're not taking off BBS's for that junk are you?

I had enkeis on my chevette, and they came off of a 2002 bmw.
they looked like bbs mesh.
mesh was big in the 80s so i wouldn't see why a 325 couldn't have em. one word, panasports

ssr makes some wheels in the 5x120 pattern needed for your car. Check out their website, the formula mesh will probably be cool.

Wrong, 1973. The e30 non-M3 runs a 4x100 bolt pattern, the same as the Honda Civic.

kryptonite, you want mesh? Ronal LS.
