I just got my style 128 rims and I thought that the rears should be 19x9.5 but on the back of the wheel they say 19x9, everyone else lists that they should be 19X9.5 and fronts are 19x8. 128 owners please chime in.

BMW lists them as 9.5

Maybe the machine cannot print the .5 on the rim

Why dont you just take a tape measure and measure the rim across and tell us waht you find ?

I just assumed if they said 9 then it would not be 9.5, the wheels are stored at the tire place, they are there waiting for the tires to arrive. I will go down and measure them on Monday, I hope they are not the style 128 for the X3 as those are supposed to be 19x9.

BMW wheels generally have the last few numbers of the part number on the wheels

Yours should be 36 11 6 761 992 so look for a "6 761 992" cast on the wheel somewhere


If it says "6 756 029" its the X3 wheel which has a very different offset from the 5 series one


Hopefully someone with style 128 can comment on what their wheels say

You're incredible! Do you have the complete TIS in your head? Or do you work for BMW meaning that you're being confronted with BMW parts on a professional basis?

Keep up the good work!

No, have just changed many BMW wheels on many BMW's ( mine and friends )

Well, I tried to look at mine, but since they are on the car, I could not see the back side to get numbers. Sorry. Hard to get a tape measure to it, but looks like 9.5

There is a small 13 on the front side of the rim for the rear though.

Yes I remember seeing a 13 on the rear rims as well, on the back of one of the spokes it says 19x9. I will take a look a the wheels... they're at the tire place in waiting for the tires.
