Really quite interested in where you purchased these rims from? online somewhere? I am in Australia....so online might work, anyways any details you have will be helpful
do you know the offsets by any chance?seems like a nice change from the 166 style wheel.

Hi, I got it from my local tyre shop. You can try contacting the Japanese manufacturer to see who are the authorised distributors in Australia for these rims:-

Based on recent discussions, I've determined that my car sits on OEM sport suspension.

Hey, what tire setup are you running??
I've noticed alot of people use 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 in the rear... wouldn't that be off BMW spec? And some people say their setup rubs in the front on hard cornering, or the back when there are passengers...
Whereas I've seen very few people do 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 which is closer to BMW spec... my question is, would it be possible to fit 295/25/20 in the rear? or even 305/25/20 without rubbing? (sorry getting a bit greedy on the rubber here lol)
Is there a happy medium? I'm looking towards buying my first set of 20s for my ride and I don't want to rub... I'll be on sitting on stock sport suspension and was thinking of getting something 20 x 10.5 or 20 x 10 in the rear... thanks everyone for your help! I'm a newbie poster but I've been following a few threads
