I saw these wheels and I am very curious what brand/model are they? They are not part of the BMW aftermarket line. I thought I would ask you guys if anyone has a clue what they are :) Sorry for the low res photo, that's the best pics I have of it http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee135/fallofchaos/M32b.jpg

0 pixels -is- pretty low res. Dunno whether it's photobucket or me but the photos aren't loading.

EDIT: There we go. I can tell you conclusively that they are wheels.

Beyern Rapp in Chrome.


If they aren't these wheels they are pretty darn close.


Very common BMW E46 wheel.

Hope that helps you?

So why are the lugs lined up with the spokes on the rear but lined up with the gaps on the front?

I'm guessing wheel spacers? :dunno:

we have seen your car and although they are nice wheels, the volks you have on it right now, cant be touched. leave them as they are. IMO of course.

Good observation, that is bugging me as well now, they must be staggered wheels or something, I can't think of any other reason why they would have two different drill locations for the lugs.

Hey there 03ozwhip :) I agree the Volks are really nice and suit the black one I have perfectly. My wife is looking for one so I'm shopping for an M3 for her ;) I can't risk her driving mine after I put the Stage 2 supercharger this coming summer :)

Had a peek at the Beyern Rapp, I don't think these are them, you're right, it is a common e46 wheel :)

The Iforged look really close except for the circular indentation surrounding the lug nut holes which the one on the BMW doesn't have. Those ones are flushed all around the face of it. It is darn close though with everything else.

I'm starting to think it's just a replica wheels of some kind :dunno:

Sorry I was way off after looking closer. Not even close to Rapps.

No need to apologize gram, you were trying to help :)

Still trying to figure out what brand/model these are though, it's like a brain teaser that will not let me quit inquiring about it until I find out :rofl:

Another wheel that looks VERY VERY close is:
Seva S star classic for the regular e46. I can only find it in black but this might be the wheel?
