Welcome moit!

That's a nice '95 M50B25 5er! Terrible colour (most expensive to keep) but one of the best... lol

Are those Z4 rims? What is the offset/ET? They look great and would be nice and light...

welcome, I think that's the same colour as mine, petrol mica?

[leee34]

Yeah i have to admit shes an arse to keep clean but shes a 93' not a 95'. The wheels are off a e39 5 series not sure on the offset as i bought the car with them on.

e39 eh?

They are called style #49s, similar to style 131 and a style 182 (E90 and E53). Better though. Not sure about the white lettering thing myself bt the rims look much better on e34 than e39.

Make sure you have or fit hubcentric rims though, they won't centre on your hub properly when mounted and will cause vibration at speed, sometimes severe- kinda like a wheel is badly balanced. Sometimes so bad people blame their brakes and all sorts of stuff.

Plastic ones are best. e39s have 74.1mm or so hubs, e34s are 72.56mm.
