Cross spoke 29 wheels

[1rotty 40]

Just got the factory build & option sheet on my 97 540.

Lists cross spoke 29 wheels-anyone able to tell me what they look like-i'm pretty sure thats not what was on it when i got it.

An added bonus I wasnt aware of-the car has factory m-sport suspension-no wonder it handles heaps better than my jap slush box.

No problem mate, yea if your option sheet said style 29's then they would be what was on it from new. Are they what were on it when you got it?

Ive always used this bmw wheels website if I needed to see anything but it appears to be well out of date now.

There used to be another one very similar to this that had lots more wheels on it, but its been closed down

Thats what I use as well Martyn. It has the majority of the styles, this is the first I know of that isn' on there.

I think those will be aftermarket wheels with BMW centre caps.

As Jeremy said, there not genuine BMW. Look like Hamman rep's, though could be original. Worth a fortune if they are.

Best I whip one off then & do an inside the rim search!!

They look like Harmann's, but they also only look like 17's...or is it just me who thinks they look small? Cant see any sizing on the tyre either.

Nice site Paul, what a bunch of anoraks we are eh

No,They're 18x8's with 245 40's but youre right the pic makes them look small

Thanks heaps for the help guys-saved the sites to favs.

I was under the impression that the Hamann wheels have their name on them, like the ones on Dave’s wagon. Also Hamann wheels are normally staggered fitment, as in 8.5 up front 9.5 rears.

Dave's Hamann's

You could well be right-all the Hamanns I can see on the net seem to have their name on-mine certainly dont.

There are all sorts of code stamps etc on the inside spokes but the only word is 'Germany'

Anyone else able to throw any more light on this?
