Help me ID these wheels (BMW)

[Tarka]

Taken from DarrenW's fantastic Worthersee thread. I need some help in IDing these BMW wheels. Really racking my brain. I think they are OEM but not sure.



I'm usually good at this sort of thing but these are tough. Even worse because I think a set would look ace on my E28!!

No idea but the first thing I thought of was these, E46 M3 wheels. Not the same though.

More like these but a bit more modern and looks like a split rim.



These are the closest I can find. Style 86. But the rim isn't deep enough.

If the Style 86 are a proper split rim, could they not have put the centres on a deeper rim to get the look above?

Tell you what though, whatever the wheels on the VW are, they made me think again about what styles would suit the Princess.

I was wondering about them at the time, as I couldn't place them on any BMW I could think of... I'm glad this thread has come about as maybe someone will have an answer!

They look like an early alpina rim if that's any help, the dish looks the same, like the ones on the alpina 7 series cars.

99% sure they ain't Alpina. I reckon they are from an early Bangle 7 series or a Z4 Coupe. Just a case of finding evidence now...

[DarrenW]

They look about right, correct dish on them... According to this:

felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/?felge=860

they did different widths etc, so I'd say that they are the Style 86 as already mentioned

Good lad! 17s as well so won't look ridiculous on an older car. The hunt is on...
