I wish BMW had built them with studs and nuts for the wheels. :headbang:

It's just so much easier when you need to change a wheel!
Plenty of vendors sell quality stud kits, conversion is quite simple... def a mod worth doing...

I’m actually the opposite, much prefer the original dish type 32. Concave doesn’t do it for me. Nice, but not as nice as the dish type :thumbsup:

Been looking for some for ages! I guess the good thing is if I need to sell I know they’ll hold their value! :lol:

I think Marlon had these on his z4 but in 18 inch.
Indeed I did - great choice OP :thumbsup: :driving:

Correction - mine weren't the concave rare ones like yours

Original dish for e39 requires hubcentric rings (74.1 -> 72.6) which I’m not crazy about. Not to mention theyre discontinued so you pay up the nose for a reconditioned set. The concave ones can still be sourced at a dealer for new...
