Help me to identify Model of this Stock Rim on my 08 E90

donttasemebro · 01-16-2018, 12:45 PM

I have a cracked rim (4th one but who's counting). I've looked for this rim on google and ebay and even called dealership but they can't identify with the VIN. I assume somebody put these on this vehicle aftermarket. Possible M3 rims.

Anybody know what these are called so I can find and buy one?

I'm not sure how to properly add thumbnails so forgive the link.

They look like E60 M5 wheels (Style 166)

These are not E9X M3 rims or E9X 3 series rims. These shits is straight off an E60 5 series or M5. The previous owner of your car was a clown that put these wheels on.

A clown? Educate me please. They look good and they ride well. Am I missing something?

M5 Style 166 they are. Judging from the prices it looks like I'll be buying and new set of something else though :/

Probably reps, I doubt they are OEM E60 M5 rims on a car that old. I see them everywhere here used as snow tires in many sizes.

Probably the reason you have also cracked 4 of them.

Big wheels look nice but they really suck when it comes to low profile tires and crappy roads. A friend's SUV has 20" wheels and low profile tires from the factory, and the ride is about as soft as a school bus with metal seats.

I should have specified that the 3 others I broke were CSL's on a 2002 BMW 323i. Staggered 18's so similar setup, low profile murders rims in general.
