Update (16/05/2013)

The wheels were picked up a few days ago. These were with my friend sprayer for a few days. He has huge experience as he is a teacher at college in body shop and he has done hundreds of wheels. He admitted the wheels were the hardest to spray due to big amount of spokes, but he has done an exceptional job I need to say !!! Ok so here are a few pics, have a comment - I wanna see what you think





























The best looking wheels Ive ever seen
Now my friend from my estate will fit the tyres and it will be done
I am just thinking, it will be a shame these will be used over winter times... Hope you like it

16" style 5

I just bought myself a set of these for my e90 (325xi) and this thread has been a huge help. Are wheel spacers needed and if so what size? Thanks

Hello there,

I did not need any spacers.

My model is pre-LCI 320d. Having 320d means the brake discs and calipers are small so 16" wheels will fit. With other models the brakes are bigger therefore the 16" wheels will not fit.

I have fitted 195 tyres because these were cheaper haha. These are only winter wheels. Also narrower tyres performs better in snow

Any more questions please let me know.

Also you need the rings (the pinky / red round plastic bits) for the hub as the centre hub hole is a bit bigger on the wheels.

Mat.

Perfect, I was hoping they weren't needed. And yes I order those hub rings, dropped the wheels off today to have new tires put on them. Thanks for getting back to me.
