If you can't find a place to buy used tires locally, you need to move to a more civilized part of the world. ;-)

I have some older custom (ugly) wheels off my first white ti that are 15".
But we are too far apart.
I would try to see what your local wrecking yards have, craigslist (where I found the wheels and Pirelli P-NeroZero tires on my green ti)
I have fould just about anything I ever needed at either in the local papers (autotrader.com type rag) the local wrecking/dismantlers yard, or they can find them for you on the hotline. I never seem to go any further than craigslist now.
Smaller items you can get on FeeBay, but unless it's local, shipping is cost prohibitive.
Good luck.
And you could have my old wheels (since one is bad/broken from curb) if you happen to be traveling near San Franciso area. I have a couple of good 15" tires too. (my Z3 wheels I put on Greenie are 16") These I paid $250 for 4 type 42's and tires off a guys Z3. They are on my car now. Found on Craigslist.

I have 15 inch Rims (bmw OEM). they are the 5 spoke style that is typical for this car.

they have very high quality all-season tires (bridgestone Potenza RE960AS) when i got them, they were rated #1 all season tires on tirerack. they have great traction in snow, but not like a snow tire.
6/32s left on them.
Rims look good overall but they do have some nicks and scraps.

the inside of the front tires are wearing alittle faster then the outside. nothing serious.

I also have really nice 17" rims off of a 325ix sport coupe with brand new tires installed, but i am looking for alot more for them.

make an offer on the 15's if you want. Unfortunally, i will not be home until this weekend, but if you wanted them sooner, you could let me know, i can have someone meet you.

i am north west of philly (up 422), all highway- about 1 - 1/2 hours to 2 hours

i have them listed (and pictures of them) in the first link below (black 98 318ti) i have a price listed, but you can send me a best offer if it does not work. if you are interested in the 17s, you can shoot me an offer too. i can work with prices if you are local, pick them up, but i think the price is not to unreasonable.

thanks

Craigslist! just go to auto parts and put in BMW as the search....hundreds of wheels. MD/DC might be a little far for you.....Sure there is some stuff farther north.

Thanks. I'm always checking Craigslist for "e36 parts" for whatever may show up, but never looked for wheels. I'll check it out

A lot of people will not list under "E-36 or e36" etc. because they are vehicle ignorant. I have widened my search to find parts to just BMW and maybe 318
then 318ti.
Never use the year, since most parts are interchangable anyway except '96 up is a different engine.

yeah, the bolt patter does not change, but size and width could. also, pretty sure corvette rims have the same bolt patten if you wanted to spend some extra cash and widen your search. (it is very similar, off by only a few mm but should bolt up)

haha, anyway, if you want more info on my, let me know. i am home this weekend, Friday to Sunday afternoon if you wanted to pick them up. if not, you can pick them up anytime but you will not be meeting up with me, but my father or friend or someone. Price is negotiable, and i have the 15s or really nice 17s with new tires for more.

talk to you soon. just keep me in mind. we live close!
