    Anyone familiar with these wheels?

    Trying to figure out the model number to see if they are an ok offset. They came off a 2012 5-series. Also, are the newer 5-series now the standard bore size? I gotta get rid of these M-par reps. They suck so bad.

    I have a spare pair of M-pars (real ones) and am in Chicago.

    What condition are the wheels and the tires (if any)? Please PM me and let me know what you want for them.

    Ditto //m320is, that doesn't look like any oe BMW wheel I've seen. You can check for yourself at the following link to one of the BMW wheel sites: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/

    In regards to wheel center bore (hub) size & wheel offset range...see the BMW wheel size chart below:

    Thanks! I had heard they switched the 5s to 72.56mm. I have rings on for these awful reps ive been running. Both fronts are now bent and I’ve had to replace each of the back ones because they cracked.

    Careful. Even if the Bore is correct, the offset on that Pic looks like it is designed for the newer XDrive cars ( Negative offset ). e38's are postive offset. ( Concave )

    E38s and the newer stuff are all positive offset. E38s are just less positive than some of the others (lower offset as in less positive or more negative means the wheel sits further out and will be more concave). If those have a higher offset they might need spacers to fit on an E38.
