    Official OEM Wheel Thread

    I am sick of you guys always saying the names of these wheels, and mainly me not knowing wtf you are talking about, so if you could please post all the different styles of OEM BMW wheels, pics if possible, sizes, specs, nicknames, whatever you got. It would be of great assistance to me as well as anyone interested in using OEM BMW wheels as an upgrade from there current wheels...for example:


    E46 M3 Wheel:


    18x8"

    Found on E46 M3's, can be bought at www.turnermotorsports.com.


    Get it?
    Thanx alot guys, and if this thread is worthless, sorry, if it's successful and helpful...STICKY PLEASE!

    Check my sig.

    I've been calling 'em bottlecaps.

    They're 15's. OEM E36.

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    No they're not. Those are known as Doublespoke 1s or DS1s.

    M3 LTW only came with one type of rim. The second ones in the picture a few posts up showing three different types of E36 M3 rims. Just because they say motorsport on them does not mean they are LTW rims.
