stock steel (very rare on E9) and alloy wheels were 6Jx14 ET22 or 6,5Jx14 ET22 (alloy only)
The alpinas were 7Jx14 ET11 (as on the CSL)
as were the later "alpina style" optional sports alloy wheels by BMW (FIPS) (still available new from the dealers, in fact the only wheel the dealer will still deliver)
most period aftermarkets for the E9 and the E3 were 7Jx14 ET11 (the BBS Mahle for example)
stock tire size was 195/70 R14 (H or V) (even for the CSL) although 205/70 R14 was a popular aftermarket tire that fits nicely on the 7x14 wheels
H2 is a designation for the shape of the rim. It means that it can be run with tubeless tires

Those are stock steel wheels with hubcabs and rings for certain model years of the E3.
All 3.0Csi, 3.0CS and 2800CS had alloy as stock. Only the late, 75 only, europe only, fuel crisis, 3.0Cs with the 2.5 liter motor had steel wheels. Though I don´t know with what cabs.
So on that car, these are not stock.
Look neat though. But maybe anything looks nice on a car as nice as an E9.
