Set of 4 for 220 bills? Nice deal, I would hop on it if I didn't have the more expensive option in my pocket. They look cool

They're a little too '80's Firebird lookin for my taste, and I'm not a fan of the rivet look, but still, they look like they're in nice shape for the price.

From what I've read BMW wheels are VERY VERY close. Apparently the wheel stud holes are 2mm off so some force is required to get the BMW wheel on but they work.

These are the 19" BMW wheels that I had on my 740iL and I did try them on my 1994 Vette. they almost fit, and maybe would have it pressured a little...



M-Parrallel is the name of them

NO, BMW wheels do not fit as they are metric in size. You can make them fit - but that is a really, really, bad idea.
