I’m looking for two Hardy&beck e30 spec wheels, or a full set. I currently have 6 and am looking to complete two sets. Any leads or info would be awesome

Those are the 20 spoke, the originals for 2002 and 320i were 16 spoke with the exception of the first sets put together for 320i.
They were 20 spoke and the 15" rim halves had no drop center, so the wheel had to be taken apart to put tires on. those early 20 spoke centers were larger diameter
and made from the 5-7 series centers.
The new centers are a bit different where the bolts are and the shape of the spoke. Your pictures look like the newer centers.

These are from the mid 80’s someone wrote the date on them when they were taken apart at some point. These wheels were made specifically for the e30 Bmws. More spokes and the spokes are more “finned” than the 02 16 spoke ones. Word on the street in the Bay Area is that H&B is no longer selling wheels. They have them on their website but they are NLA and Allen has no plans to make more of them. I’ve got a lead on a set of 2002 spec wheels, but I like the shape of these better and they’re even rarer than the 02 ones. I also have H&B m10 headers, Momo steering wheel and amco style H&B shift knob. I’d love to find a Hardy&beck m10 valve cover! I’ve only seen one in person
