Re: What are these wheels?

They can't look *exactly* the same and I'll tell you why... you say below they
are 5 lug wheels... the only BMW factory wheels that look *exactly* like the M3
wheels and come in 15" are the 325ix and the M-Tech convertible wheels... both
4 bolt wheel patterns ;)

20mm offset is consistent with an E32/34 BBS style wheel...

There should be 7 digits of the BMW part number on the wheel somewhere... give
me that and I'll tell you.  I'll bet the last 3 numbers are 774...  Give me
that number and I'll figure it out for 'ya.
