    Help identify this rim?

    See attached pics, I’m missing an emblem and was looking into getting the floating ones...car is a 93 e31, don’t know what the rims came off of, or even that they might be original...

    the other emblems are app 71mm in diameter, the hole is 49mm in diameter...can anyone offer any info?

    I can't tell if the first picture has BBS stamped on the lip, kind of looks like it does in the 3 o'clock position. If so, these are genuine BBS RX 209 wheels -- could have just googled what was stamped on the wheels themselves :P, no worries though. Cool rims, they no longer make them.

    No worries, always worth asking. The ET 10 is the offset, the distance (in mm) from the centerline of the wheel to the inside of the wheel hub. Basic image showing offset. The RX 209 is the model, and BBS is the manufacturer/brand. I think the centercaps you will want are 3-tab 70mm caps. Are your other centercaps BBS or BMW centercaps? Many BBS wheels fit the original BMW centercaps.
