Check out Tire Rack if you havent already, Its a one stop shop for wheels tire and any suspension package you want. (www.tirerack.com)
Tire rack is pretty ricer-ish when it comes to wheels. though some of them are pretty nice.
If you want something that looks a lot better and doesnt cost much, buy a set of the 15" ronal LS www.ronalusa.com

e36 rims are 5 bolt, he needs 4 bolt.
Check out some Kosei K1's. You can get them in 15" for about $120/wheel. They look pretty good and only weigh 11lbs each. If you want pretty good stick you can throw some Falken Azenis on them, they are only about $65/tire.
That's the combo I'm using for auto-x next season.

I have....
Some BBS / BMW Gold Mesh wheels w/ the bmw blue/white center caps.
They are 14" w/ NEW 195/65 tires....less than 700 miles.
$450 shipped or $350 picked up. (you are fairly close to me, I'm in Iowa City, Iowa. About 45 min. from the quad cities (Davenport, Moline, Bettendorf, Rock Island) OR about an hour from Dubuque, Iowa...if either gives you a better idea of a drive you might have.
The wheels themselves have only very minor curb rash. They are off a '91 318is.
Let me know if you're interested.

Alpinas are NOT cheap - try ebay or something as you'll probably have to import them from Europe otherwise (I don't think there is a supplier in the US although your local Mag shop may be able to help). You are better off trying to source the BBS basket weaves as these are cool too and much cheaper. They came standard on the Motorsport versions of the 325i, and so should be easy to get secondhand, or you can buy new ones (at least they are available in NZ from most wheel shops) but cost the same as any new set of wheels.
You can buy multispokes similar to the alpinas but I am not sure of the costs or availablility in a 4-stud RWD offset. I personally quite like 6-spokes with a dark shaodwchrome finish, but that is my opinion. Anything in a deep-dish design looks good too. Like deep-dish 205's look really good.
