    Default Hey guys, I need help in identifying what type of RIMS this 530i has on it!!

    Hey bimmer nuts, I have been looking to change my stock rims on my 540i. Since is not a true M5 I would like to shy away from the thorwing stars yet I found this picture online of a 530i and was going to buy the car just for the rims but as soon as I inquired to purchase the car as a junker for the rims it was sold. Perhaps someone out there could help. What are these RIMS called? I would like to find a set for my 540i!!

    Thanks!!

    never seen them before, anything's gotta be easier to clean than basket weaves.

    yes i spent many hours iin total cleaning those big basket weaves.When i first got them i used a whole bottle of wheel cleaner to clean the backs of em.I was very taken by the big style 10s too ,but they dont seem popular at all.I have only ever seen one set in real life.The pic above is only the second pic i have seen of them.I assume they are 17x8

    this is the only other pic i have ever seen
