Which wheels?

[whiskychaser]

Only had the car four years so I can be forgiven for not noticing that one of the wheels is an odd-ball. Ive had the Mr Magoo comments already thanks. But I'd be interested to know what these wheels are:

I would think the 2nd photo is the bottlecap as it looks more like one. I've got 4 of the first pic though. Realoem says I should have 'style 2' but the diagram looks more like bottlecaps. I'd like to know but I'm going to stick it back in the boot if I cant find out :D

I'd say top one is a styling 15 from an E38 and the bottom one is a styling 2 from an E34.

Ahh! I didn't see the difference. Both look like bottlecaps to me.... but you are right, it is two different styles.

They look like the E38 but the spokes arent that convex. And the centre is flat on mine whereas the E38 seems to have recesses in it. TBH the one in pic 2 is going back in the boot asap as I think it looks crap:D

Thanks for that! I dont feel so much like Mr Magoo after all:D
