When i bought my car it had these bbs 5 lug rims on them and they did not properly fit so i put on a set of regular bmw rims because my car is a 4 lug. I have this set of rims now and i don't know the value, model name or anything really about them, other then that they are real 3 piece set of rims can some1 help me figure this out? please and thanks

According to RealOEM, the 1 093 531 part number was used only on the E39 5 Series.
But I think that E39 wheels will fit E38 7 series also, and probably others.
I think it may also fit the older 5s & 7s, but the diameter of the wheel hub is larger than the diameter of the hub on those cars so you'd have to use centering rings.

Those are BBS RC090. Or people like to call them BBS style 5. They are 17x8 et20 and are a 74.1 center bore. You could get anywhere from 700-1000 if I were to guess. With tires (if they're in good shape) you might be able to get more but then shipping would be a problem. Style 5s are very popular and you should have no problem selling them though.

Oh and they are 2 piece wheels, not 3. How in the world were 5 lug wheels on the car if it's 4 lug??

Thanks for that. And the rims where on my car when i bought them with some shitty spacers that looked like they were gonna fall off cause they were rusted and etc... Plus the spacers that convert cars from 4 to 5 lug really make the rims hold on 3 lug its really stupid and unsafe

No problem. Yeah good call. I'd definitely just run a 4 lug wheel that actually bolts up and make some money off these. I have a set of style 5s for my e36 m3. All that's needed to run them on an e36 are some hubcentric rings.
