Hey Ive been seeing these on Audis, VW and BMW E92s

They are copies in the design of the advan wheels but have really nice concavity

I havent been able to verify if they make any in our wheel spec,offset and bore size but it would be great if vmr chimed in here or somebody who is in the know did

here are some pics

I like these, and have seen them in e02 forums, and asked Michael (Acute Performance) about them a few days ago. I think he's checking with VMR.

AFAIK ... E9x (3-series) bore is the same as our E60 but just like the xi/awd E60 family they are using high offset nbr.

so then we would either need large hubcentric spacers or them to produce them in our offsets if it was too high for spacers

I like those wheels and think they will flow well on our cars. Advan has some really classic and timeless designs, albeit the real deals are expensive! Do they even make Advans in our bolt patterns? Not sure if I've seen one on a BMW.

As for offset, hope they can make them lower! Lower = more aggressive and hopefully more concave!

They look good, I wonder how the finish would hold up though? (Chipping)
