    Default what are these wheels from?

    I just bought a 94 540I this week. The wheels are in bad shape. Can anyone tell me what they came from and if they are valuable. i am trying to determine wether to restore these wheels or just look for a good stock set.
    They are 16" and have the numbers 18167-1 on the back of one spoke. Thanks for the help.

    Well I couldn't find these wheels on Felgen Katalog (http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/), unless it is a wheel that a picture hasn't been found for it yet.

    I suspect perhaps that these are aftermarket rims? The centre cap is in very bad shape, different colour (different metal?) and banged up quite a bit. How on earth is that possible? Kerbing your wheels usually does it from the edge of the wheel, not the rim of it.

    I believe with BMW wheels, the part number is stamped on every wheel, not just one.

    Not OE and not valuable.

    I wouldn't bother...probably decent winter wheels.

    They are in a European D&W catalogue as "soft-spoke" (my translation), middle price,E28&E34 firment.The other thing I found in the catalogue was a transfer of an E30 M3 engine designed to be stuck on the bonnet(hood) of a standard car,hum!

    I think they may be ASA's or DP Motorsports from many moons ago....but they are certainly not worth investing any $$ to refinish...they look like a 16x7" FWD offering...not exactly a highlight for any E34.. I have a nice set of Type 42 replicas available if you are interested. 17x8 and 17x9 direct bolt-on and hub-centric.
