Default OEM M Parallels on E60/E60

Hi,

Does anyone have any pics of the 18" OEM M Parallels (style 37) on E60 or E61?

Many thanks!

I didn't have M parallels, but I did have similar ones: OEM 125 wheels that I actually REALLY liked.

They certainly do echoe the m paras with the nice deep dish. I'm keen to see some 18" m paras on E60 as I've seen a nice set that I'm thinking of swapping my M6 reps for.

Thanks for your reply!

I would suggest test fitting them. The offsets may not work directly, which would mean you'll need spacers. Also, depending on which model they came from, you will want to check the bore size of the hub. Our cars use hubcentric wheels, which just means there's a lip on the hub where the wheel sits. previous years of BMWs had different bore sizes and that would mean that you'd need hubcentric rings to make the wheels fit properly.

I've done reading about this and yeah I will need the spigot rings as they are E39 wheels.

Thanks again.
