Hi -- I need to replace a cracked rim. I see conflicting information on sizes of rims for my vehicle and I have not found a way to enter my VIN and find out the sizes. Any advice. I do not have tools to remove the tire from the rim and look for the part number. The car is a 2008 328i convertible with sport package and 18 inch light alloy wheels. it is the Y spoke 197 style rim.

Thanks for your advice.

I think you might be posting in the wrong section, this is the "for sale" section.
But with that being said, according to bmw style wheels there are just two sizes available for style 197.
18x8 in front and 18x8.5 in the back.

Post a pic of the wheel and the tire size, if OEM it should be easy to figure out.
