Of the three, i would definitely go with the M1's.  IMO, the type E's and
Imolas look like ass on E30's (no offense if someone has them, just my
opinion :o)  Have you looked at the Zagato's?  I have them on my '88 325is
(16x7, ET28, 225/45/16's),  you can see them on my car at

they are pretty heavy, but so are the ones that you are looking at..
