    Unkown named wheels. Please help

    Hey, just picked up new set of wheels for my e36.
    Wheels are 17x8.5j et13 5x120 bolt pattern and bore size is 74.1

    I've searched alot and posted into several forums but no results :/ All i know is that they are made in ITALY as it says on the back of the spoke..

    Oke, they are not in good condition but i'll renovate them for next season.

    But still.. What wheels are those? If someone has ever seen those or knows anything about them, please let me know! What could be the value of those in this condition?

    Wrong etc for e36. You will have to run skinny tires and tilt the wheels in. Lots of kids think it looks cool. But it is low performance.

    Hi,

    Any identifying information in the back of any of the spokes? if not, then they're some 'design' from 'somewhere' and might well not even be Italy at all. They 'look' like a variation of OZ wheels made by 'some' factory somewhere. a 74.1mm CB size means they were made for an E39 and possibly might fit on the odd few other BMW's with a 74.1mm CB. I've not seen any other sets of these on an E39, but there's probably some cars running around somewhere with these on.

    It's 'possible' they are some less well known brand wheels built in smaller batches. However, any reputable brand will have their logo on one of the back spokes.

    They look to be in below average condition, so 'IF' they turn out to be a decent brand etc, you might perhaps get more money for them or decide it's worth spending money on them to refinish them. 'IF' they turn out to be some knockoff's or unbranded level quality wheels, I'd say keep them as a spare set as they are as it wouldn't really be worth spending money on low quality wheels.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    Only thing that reminds some logo or something is on the front of the spoke (first pic)... Behind wheel it says "Made in italy and any other thing behind the spokes describes wheel parameters etc.
