I have seen the rim, no BMW logo at the back but with Part no: X5880735T

anyway to trace whether is genuine German BMW rims?

Would realoem.com have a database?

 

[wobbles]

Alternative would be BBS RK ... looks even sweeter i think

I gotta say, those rims remind me a lot of the OEM 356 type rims for the new F10 and F13:

Mr. Google tells me it's made by Rondell ... A German wheel manufacturer and it's not a BMW OEM wheel. To be more specific it's Rondell style 58

http://www.rondell.de/0058-3-41.htm ... There are several offsets for the 17" so make sure you can test fit them first.

If you really want to get an OEM wheel that looks similiar to the Rondell's then its BMW style 42 that you want to be looking for as mentioned by bro 7833

Eitherway Rondell's is a pretty established German wheel manufacturer and they do make OEM wheels for BMW but not the one on the link that you posted.

Woah! Those wheels are like the precursor of the ones I have on my car!

Very nice! Go get those bro EL118!

Finally have time to take some shots on my new gf.

Front

Rear

it would be better if it look like this

The "million dollar" stick

Surprisingly, the seat cushion is in very good condition (though not in leather), with 159,000 miles, i.e more than 250,000km travelled, it is much better than my E39 with 160,000km when i acquired it. probably the previous owner is a very "light weight"

Nice....would be greater if it has '6' on the stick

Bro EL118, very nice pictures! I can easily imagine you having hours of fun heel-toeing the car. Just keep fingers crossed you don't run into any traffic jams! Congratulations again on your new toy bro!

I am now more like a "Nite rider", only enjoying this at nite after dinner around 9-11pm. so less problem with jams.

Heel to toe? i think need a new pair of racing shoes as i struggled with my "slippers" to perform the task.. he he

All this while, I thought the best time to change / upgrade rims is when it's time to change all 4 rubbers ... :4: cabutzzzz
