Help identifying rims?
 
So I've been looking for some 5 spoke rims, and really want some Millies but most are out of my price range so I found these rims on craigslist.
http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/1088698203.html
I really am interested in them, but can't figure out what they are! Has anyone ever seen these or maybe even have the slightest clue what they are? I looked on google images for awhile hoping I'd get lucky but seriously that was just wishful thinking haha.

hard to tell from the low quality pics... center maybe looks like momo's ?

<obvious>
did you email the guy for more info about them?

Mille Miglia MM-II on what looks like an E34 5 series.
If you get em, you'll need to go and roll your fenders.
A quick google search lead me to this picture.

Looks like the same centercaps that are on the car you posted.
Hope this helps you out!

Yes haha but i'm into instant gratification :biggrin:

James I actually did look at those, but with the low quality pics, and the rims not having the smaller holes in them or BMW caps, it kinda threw me off :redface:
By the way, what are those smaller holes for?

Actually for $180 that's a really great price, especially if they have tires on em.
Same price that budget76 got his for haha.
BTW those smaller holes between the bolt holes serve no purpose, just cosmetics.

Not to worry, John... there are some minor differences... The one's you found could be knock-off's, or just a difference between years produced... as for the small holes, I don't really know. My DS1's have those holes too...

minicoop900 03-31-2009 06:56 AM

ive heard their for alignment tools, theres a bmw factory tool that sits in the holes on each rim front and back and you put a straight line on it and align them, of course who knows if thats accurate or not.

John318ti 03-31-2009 06:57 AM

James and Randy thanks guys! :biggrin: Maybe the holes are to make them even lighter I mean that must shave off at least a couple hundred grams :tongue:
I'll call the guy up tomorrow find out more and post back the details!
Even if they are knockoffs they would be a great deal if rubber is included!

Hey actually on the CL ad that you posted, those extra holes aren't there haha.

Doing another quick search, it seems like there's several versions of Mille Milgia MMII wheels out there.
The one that's in the CL ad are MMII PLUS, where the ones that Budget76 looks like MMII-2...
I'm not too sure how accurate my quick research is, but from my understanding, there are different versions.
Here's a few pictures so you can see the differences.

Mille Miglia MMII-2 (Just like the ones Budget76 got)
http://wayneswheels2000.com/mille-miglia-mm11_2.jpg

Mille Miglia MMII-3 (The spokes aren't flat)
http://wayneswheels2000.com/mille-miglia-mm11_3.jpg

Mille Miglia MMII PLUS (The ones that are in the original post.)
http://www.laceibatireshop.com/image...e/mm11plus.jpg

Hopefully the info I'm sharing is correct, if not, let me know!
I like these wheels, I was about to get a set too haha, but my $$$ didn't let me haha.

I think you're thinking of the tool that's in the trunk toolbox, it just goes in the hole for one of the lug-bolts and you line the lug hole up with it

I guess they were sold yesterday :cry: I was so excited about them too... Oh well I guess another set will pop up some day :frown:
Haha I'm so ready for some nice rims! They would just make my car look so much better!

budget76 04-01-2009 07:29 AM

Damn, just missed.

Just keep your eye out. I missed out on a set of Style 72? IIRC rims for $100, but then hopped on the Milles.

wolferj-RIP 04-01-2009 07:38 AM

Too bad, John... Don't worry though, the right set for you will come along soon...
