Question Advice needed: BM528

Hi guys,

is anyone running these in 18"?

I'd love to see how they'd look on my 3.0SI... how's the quality? is it any good?

Which offset / width should I choose?

I plan on keeping my stock tires (OEM Size) on them... stock suspension aswell..

225/40-18 F
255/35-18 R

will they even fit? they don't talk about the E85 in the fitment guide...

Thanks!

can't help you with the 18's, but i am running the 19" version...

quality at 2 months in is quite good with absolutely no issues to report. the true test will be one year in. the only real downside, which is an attribute of all replica wheels, is they are on the heavy side. you will not notice this if you are not tracking the car.

also, here is a great resource for non-///m wheel fitment...

edit: found this website, they appear to have better offsets available for the same product...

thanks mate

looks great on your car

any clue why yours are called 343M and mine BM521?

are yours the low pressure cast ones?

I really like the "3d" they've got in them, I hope I won't lose that by going 18"... which offeset would be the best?

the "343M" is the actual BMW OEM M5/6 wheel style. the "BM521" is the name of the replica. they are not the low pressure cast version as those were released after i purchased the wheels on my car.

as far as offsets are concerned, **********s offers better offsets for your application...

8.0 et35 front
9.0 et38 rear
