Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could tell me which bimmer these wheels came off of. I recently aquired them in a trade. I am planning on picking up a bimmer in the near future. I am curious which model these are from. I have searched and been unsuccessful so far. If anyone could shed some light on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated. I know they look familiar, like from a 99 or so 3 series, but I am not sure. Thanks guys.

I just looked at the BMW wheels page that was posted on the boards and I could not find that type of wheel. Maybe it is an aftermarket wheel with a BMW center cap?:dunno:

Yea, that is what i was thinking it might be. I thought that they look very familiar though. Any idea who might make the wheel? thanks a bunch for replying. i really appreciate it.

if its a BMW wheel the Style # and/or part number will cast be on it somewhere, if it's an aftermarket wheel the brand name will be there instead

let us know what you find

I'm pretty sure these are aftermarket.

The way to tell for sure is that BMW OE ones will have 'BMW' cast into them near the centers someplace.

I don't know who made those wheels, but I am pretty sure they are not made by BMW. They don't look like any I have ever seen.

How wide are they? seem rather narrow for a 17" rim if they are running 205's. Any idea what model of car then came from?

Agreed. Tire size sounds like they belong to a Civic. Probably a 17x7 wheel.

Aren't they labelled on the inside? If not, I'd be very suspicious.

Not a BMW wheel.
