http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...AdIdZ479297317 Are these four rims the same or is the bottom left one a different pattern? The price is decent if they are straight. But I dont really want three of one pattern and one odd ball. |  |  | | 05-03-2013, 11:40 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |

You are correct. Not only different style, but looks like a different size, too... 3 15 inch and 1 16 inch I believe. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

No doubt, looks like style 29s with one style 5. I have that style 5 on my car, definitely 16 inch like wolf said. 17 in version of both of those I think are the 2-piece, which photo isn't. Hell of an ad. | | | | | 05-03-2013, 05:35 PM | #5 | | Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Edmonton Alberta Canada Posts: 86 |

Here: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ Look at the style 5 v2 - seems like its it, should be 16x? . Talk to the guy to verify. Also with et 20/23 depending on wheel size and ride height you may have to roll/pull fenders. __________________

I can't tell from the pic if they're 15 or 16, but they look like what I have which is 16 and came from 7 series. When the car was lowered they rubbed only on the right rear, but I never determined if it was the wheels or something else causing this. Wit it at regular ride height, no problem.
If it was a 5 series, ask which one because a number of 5 series don't have the right center bore. | | | | | 05-22-2013, 10:41 PM | #12 | | Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Edmonton Alberta Canada Posts: 86 |

So as you all can see I have been hunting for some new and matching rims for my Ti. Well I found some and have them installed, actually the guy I bought them from did it for me right there...nice guy. I payed $300 for the rims and the rubber that was on them..rear rubbers are komo's and the front are something else, front rubber is probably done after this summer so no worries there. The swap of rims and rubber made a huge difference to the ride..had to do a 250km drive home after the purchase and man was I loving it..the old rears were steelies and not only out of round but warped as well with the rubber taking the shape of the rim...yeah you can guess what the ride felt like...like what I can only imagine it would be like sitting on a vibrating cell phone on steroids...not fun. the new rims and tires are a touch wider than what was on there so that is cool. The seller told me they were off of a 323i...it'll be the silver one in the pic. Both the blue car and the silver one were his...so naturally I had to ask for a photo of the three lined up after my new rims were on....lol. Since putting them on, I have been keeping my eyes open for another car with the same style,(not sure what the style number is), and have seen none....are they a rarer style, doubtful but maybe...would be cool if they are. There are literally only 3000km on these rims...according to the PO. So they are virtually mint.
What do you all think? Nice or not? | | | | | 06-27-2013, 10:09 AM | #14 | | Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Edmonton Alberta Canada Posts: 86 |
Sorry if the rims are harder to see cause of picture size. They are five spoke v's. | | | | | 06-27-2013, 10:29 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 |
