wheel upgrade

[epp]

Just wanted to ask a question though may sound silly..have been reading about the different wheel styles and have been planning to upgrade to 17"
style 21..will this fit directly into the car or is thre a need to put spacers and other such modifications in order to accomodate the wheels.

grateful for your help.

i'm assuming they're from an e39. you'll need hub centric rings.

if they are from an e34..will they work.

EPP, #21's were available from BMW for E31 (840/850s), E32's and the E34.

M-Tech II Throwing Star (Style 21) details

Replicas exist for other BMWs, but may require hubcentric rings (eg. 74mm rings for E39 wheels). Additionally, replica wheels are often unidirectional (look right only on one side), unlike the BMW OEM wheels, of which there are actually two left-handed and two righ-handed wheels in a set of four.

Cheers,
