Is there any way to convert the stock 4 lug wheel pattern on the e30s to 5 lug? Cuz lets face it all the cool Bimmer wheels are five lug...... E39 M5 wheels. those are nice wheels, YEAH.

yes, easy. just find a doner e30 M3 and swap out the whole hub.
...ok, its not that simple. you will have new rotors, will the 325 calipers bolt up, guys?
If not, you have to change the brake booster as well, i think.

You'll need the M3 brakes to go along with the rotors. the e30 M3's rotors are larger than the standard e30s. If your donor M3 has them, just rebuild them (cheaper than replacing) and they'll worke like new.
