Are these OEM?

Recommended Posts

I'm eying up some wheels on  an e91 that i'm getting

I think these are style 359

Never noticed those rivet thingies on the inner lip

Can you get a photo of the markings on the backside of the wheel face? That'd give you an idea of what it is

seems my night for posting wheel stuff

bmw style 359

yeah i was looking at that, on that site

I don't think they are OEM then, must be replica, it can't be anything else, because there's no style on that entire page that matches the number of segments

Are you sure they're not a proper brand, like BBS, rather than potentially reps? As Kelvin suggested, what are the markings on the back of the wheel?

I'm glad i posted, because i genuinely thought they were either 359 or 359 replicas like my old ones with 8 segments, it was only until someone mentioned it, i realized it was 7 segments ! Lol fail

Well more specifically , 18 offset, looks like those wheels are from a 5 series. and from my reading e90's look like offset's round the 30's, I can see an alpina wheel with 24 offset that will fit.

Has anyone rocked 19" wheels ET18 on a e90/e91?

Whats the width? If its 8-8.5 should be alright. If its 9-9.5 might be hard. 

May have to consider 225 but rare size to find i think

8.5

Yeah i was doing a bit of hunting for specific profiles, do i didn't have to potentially do some guard rolls.

I'm going to do a test fit, might not be that bad

Think it will fit alright but i would hate to drive it on 19s. Car is stiff as it is and 35 profile is just asking for rims to crack or bend on our shocking roads

Especially where I live, Rural, and state highway 2 between tauranga and katikati is falling to pieces lol

I'm tempted to fit em for a few months see how I go, while keeping an eye out for the other styles in 18" i've been trying to find, and then sell them.

Months ago there were heaps of BMW wheels available, now they have all disappeared!

i've found a pair (within price) that will probably do me a lot better, but i'm too afraid to mention anything about them, size, style or even location as i'm sure some one on here will snipe me and scoop them up before i get them.
