Default BMW Wheels fit our cars?

I tired a search on this, but didn't really find anything. It kept bringing up stuff from the street racing forum even though I had wheels selected. BMW wheels are a 5x120mm pattern, and ourcars are the 5x120.6 or whatever. Is that .6 of a difference enough to make them not fit? I thought I read somewhere that they do, but can't find the thread anymore.

they are just close enough as far as bolt patterns to just fit. Offset should be fine. I bolted up my Dad's stock BMW wheels from his Z3 Coupe on my car for gigles to see how i would look. Even the HP Evo's that are popular with board members are BMW offset and bolt pattern wheels.

you may also want to look into so reproduction bmw wheels. they make some of those that are fairly affordable, and yes they should fit no prob.

My rims are for a BMW. They are 1000 Miglia rims in a BMW bolt pattern and offset. They bolt right with no issues at all.[IMG][/IMG]

Exactly what I was thinking.

I can get these



For 255 a piece.

And they look close enough to these



That I'd be willing to roll on them for a while untill I could buy the iForged ones.

I too have wheels with the BMW pattern .. they do fit, but there will be those that say that even 0.6 mm distributed amongst the 5 lug nuts will be enough NOT to use them. So, I guess, use them at your own risk. Here are mine though, they are ADR battle exe wheels:






You can also use a hubcentric ring for added security, and check lug nuts periodically.
