Wheel options: is there anything other than 6UL?
Drat. I should be back out to play soon 
On topic I found these for the e30's and they don't look too bad, too bad they don't come in 9" wide

To bump this. Anybody using 15x9 +24 Compomotive ML1590. I was thinking about purchasing a set. I was wanting an offset closer to 35 but they only poke out 12mm further than 6uls.

The manufacturing quality control that Tirerack finds acceptable is not quite up to my standards. This spoke measured around 1/16" thinner than the the others, and the porosity right on the surface of the back face is not encouraging to me. I'm sure they are basically as safe as other gravity cast wheels of the same weight to size ratio, but I ended up sending it back and getting a set of 6UL 15x9 wheels....
Edit: to their credit, I should mention TR took it back and paid the return shipping, even though they said it wasn't defective, or any worse than any other wheel they sell under the TR Motorsports name.

eh, my car has the c3m's, and I like them, but if I were the one buying wheels I would have gone with 6ULs.

All the c3m on my are bent from hitting curbing on low speed corners at the track. They still balance up after a ton of weights but a set of 6ul will be needed at some point.

Didnt seem them mentioned but there's also spinwerks. If you get centers made by spinwerks they're an ounce or two lighter than the 949s, and only cost like $100 bucks more per set. And they're made to order so you can get whatever offset you want and they'll be hub centric. They also have steel inserts for the lug nut taper to prevent galling of the wheel. If you dont get centers made by spinwerks they can be but to a pound heavier though so you must be specific with your order and willing to wait.
