I dont like them very much. I hate all those little screws or whatever surround the whole wheel. Looks too busy and they seem small because of the short spokes.

They are mainly going to be targeted at the E30/E36/E46 BMW customers. A simple five spoke design for our E90 cars was needed badly since there is nothing like it out right now. The step lip is extremely nice.

The center looks even smaller because of the step lip.

I guess I am the odd ball out......I think they look great!

I assume they are simulated 3 piece? They remind me of the Porsche 3.6 5 spokes.

Interesting. It is a very simple design. I can't see what there is NOT to like if it is so simple. I guess it's just me but I like them a lot.

Wow thank you Nikolas for going against the grain here. I also think they look great. I'm a wheel guy and know nice designs when I see them.

Not a fan either. The 5 spoke inside the step design makes them look waaay too small.

If I had an E36 , I would consider these.

IMHO this wheel design suits older BMW's then newer.

BMW owners are not that "EURO"... these wheels would sell better to VAG owners.
The step lip looks hot. I think if the center was the same polished look as the lip it would look better

i think what i don't like about them is that the face is so simple compared the all the bolts and the step lip, it doesn't look like it flows quite right.

i know its not an 'i love it' but i'd rather say why i don't like them vs. NO

none the less any specs on the wheel? i.e. metalurgy, forged/ cast if cast, casting technique?

They're a little dated looking. More of an older 5 series look.
