I bought these wheels for the summer setup on my 2006 Acura RL. They look great on the car. I'm wondering if I can use these on the 2011 335i with X-drive I am strongly considering purchasing. I wish I had the exact model info for these ASA wheels, but I can't find it. So, I have a picture to attach. If anyone can help me understand the measurements or specs I need to check on the rim that would be helpful. These are clones of a rim that was commonly used by Mercedes (E-class), so I think they will work.
They are 18x8 rims. I have 245/45 Goodyear summer tires on them.
Thanks.http://www.photoshop.com/users/cwdonahue/assets/f6b55aa1790e46ebbec638692fd9fcce

These rims have a healthy offset to clear the big front brake calipers on my RL. How do you determine if they are 5x120? What could I measure to verify that?

What is the hub bore? I thought Acura used a smaller hub. You can measure the bolt pattern by going from the center of one hole to the back of the third hole. Or I just go to tire rack and put in the car and it will tell you.

They'd be ugly

Sorry they aren't aesthetically appealing to everyone, but...

Jamie from Tire Rack was able to track down info for the rims and they won't work. Bore is the wrong size and the offset is a bit too generous.

Oh well, I'll need to get another set of rims to use for summer or winter. I guess I'll do a +1 for summer like I did with my Acura, so 18x8 rims will be needed.
