535i - 17" rims?? How to read size/offset?
Got some Rims for my 90-535i, well at least thought I did....got through an auction house in London...anyway, have e-mail dialogue confirming that these rims are for a 5 series....but for fun today, thought I would e-mail the manufacturer "RONAL" and they tell me that they are only for a 3-series....
Here is what came off the Rims:
8J X 17H2 ET35
So is that right? These are wrong??
Here is what the Mfg said:
" Hello. Wheels are made for 3 series BMW, not 5.
Do they have a 20mm spacer in the back of the wheel, ? if so, they’ll fit, otherwise 3 series only, unless you want to send them here, and we can modify to accept spacer, but app. $75/wheel inc. spacer to do, and freight"
I am kinda P.O.'d realizing that these may not fit!!! Here is a pic of the Rims: THey are a RONAL R-7 - 17 X 8" look great!!

Are they the 16" 750 bottlecaps?
They fit well on the e34.
