Help identifying wheels

Post by Dolsen17 » Sat Aug 03, 2019 8:29 pm

Hey guys, my neighbor is moving and gave me these bmw rims which he had in storage for 12 years. He claims they are 97 z4 rims, but I haven't been able to find a 97 z4 with these wheels. I am thinking maybe they are 2007? Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated.

About the least desired wheel going I’m afraid. Bogo standard 16” rims.

Thanks mate, I got them for nothing so anything I get out of them will be profit. I just don't know what year they are

They could be from 2003>

I wouldn’t worry about the year though.

So not a popular choice - but they'd be fine for someone wanting some wheels for winter tyres. :thumbsup:

Don’t think it makes any difference if they’re 12 year old tyres! :o Would need replacing anyway... I certainly wouldn’t want to run them... but probably standard Bridgestones with a dot of 2003!
Could be useful as a spare for when you send of yours for a refurb!
