Hey guys, looking at an e60 right now and the current owner bought the car with these rims on them. He says they are Breytons, but I was curious if someone's sharp eye could tell me if in fact they are originals or replicas. I'm not highly concerned from a looks perspective, but I would like to know if they are real. Thanks in advance guys...

The Spirits have the Hex Bolts though. IIRC. And also are more concave than OP's pics!!

these wheels are Beyern Mesh Wheels. I had them on my e46 325ci. I had 19*8.5 fronts and 9.5inch rears. They looked pretty dope with the larger lip in the rear. They are made by TSW and I didn't have any problems with them. are these 19's or 20's? the brembo's look awesome

You are correct. These are the Beyern Mesh. A little less quality than Breytons IIRC, but still a great rim.
