Hey guys just looking for some info, I wanted to know what these wheels are. I'm currently refinishing them and i'm not sure if they're a style 5 or what. Can anyone help me out? They're BBS.

I think they came from an E30 M3

Not RS's. Those have bolts around the lips, and have a convex/slightly protruding face.

A quick google search with the part number says they might be BBS RAs. They are generally just referred to as basket weaves. But hopefully someone on here will have some insight.

They look like basketweaves. Not multiple piece right?

Nope, all one piece. I wish they were two piece. I'd have a hell of a lot easier time refinishing them.

What part numbers are on the wheels? They look like late 70's Mahle's.
