I noticed that the 246's arent common in my area. Are these wheels rare by any chance? I have them on mine and recently started noticing that I havent came across any other cars with them. Hell, I can barely find any decent pictures of the rims online other than my own pics

AFAIK, they should be on any 08-10 528 with sport package. I've seen quite a few around the SF Bay Area... maybe Tennessee doesn't have a large market for 528's with sport pack?

Very nice looking (17 inch?) wheel. I tried to find a used set couple of years ago for winter snows, but to no avail. I've never seen them, except in pics. Must not be too many 528s with sport option.

They look pretty good. Haven't seen many of them, but they are very similar to the most basic 17"s which were introduced in 2004 along with the car I guess. Don't remember the style number though.

I think they resemble the 122's more than the 138's. Over here in Europe I hardly see 246's as well, here they are usually found in the X-drive variety and only very rarely as rims for standard drive...
I like them a lot.
