Hey gang.
Looking to upgrade my Orient Blue 2004 530i which hasstar spoke 17's at present.
I checked on the BMW website at 18 inch genuine wheels.
What do you think of style 32? Do we know if they are off an earlier model car?
What would you guys recommend?

The wheel in your picture was also available to the E39 and the 7series model. But they also fit the E60, member poleposition had these as 20" staggered set-up on his car. What I'm not sure about is the hub-bore size of these wheels, whether they are 74.1mm or 72.56mm.

I love these wheels, powdercoated.

Hi

I did endless investigations into OEM wheels, got frustrated in the end, might have gone OEM but the dealer never had them etc etc, in the end went for 19" M style replicas - and have never looked back! www.dtm.co.nz - click on M-style

Cheers

Is that similar to the alpina wheel? I like it, 18" would be a better bet than 17s for sure. 19-20" wouldve been sweeeet.

Thanks mate.
I have also have good experiences with replica wheels on my other mimmers. However with this car I didn't want to comprimise the great ride by going away from OEM. But do you think it would be okay?

I really like these rims, but only in 20". Check this photo out of member anand_rahim's MSport with these rims in 20" also with Toyo proxies. One sweet look'n ride.
