Default 16 in BMW Wheels

Picked up a set of wheels and tires on Craigslist a few weeks ago. $150 for everything. I don't know what style they are but they are BMW Wheels (If anyone knows, let me know, I am curious). The tires are 225/50R16 and they fit fine, no rubbing and no fender rolling required. I was looking for these because I want to fit some e46 brakes up front, and I needed 16's to do that. Here are some pictures and a few before and after pics:

Just bolted right on, no spacers needed:


Also, here are some size comparisons between the 225's and the stock 205's. I also notice that the 225's seem to have a much flatter contact patch than the 205's did. They 205's have a very balloon like appearance compared to the new 225's.


Cool pictures:
