    Default Are these wheels OEM?

    They are 16" and suit a five series, so I'm assuming an offset around 20. They look like AC-Schnizter's to me. Do you guys know the details about them?

    Yes I saw these as well. To me they look like ACS knock-offs.

    I didn't think that ACS made 16" wheels for modern BWM's. In fact, the style pictured in your post is the only style I've seen for sale in a 17" size most are 18-19".
    I also don't remember the rivets looking like that on the real ACS. I think they're fake.

    EDIT: just checked the acs site and that style of wheel is a one-piece.

    Yeah like I said they look like fakes of ACS wheels. The last time I saw this style was in one piece in the mid 90s. But it's already been established that I don't get around much
