soo, it'd be nice to know if their after market, or factory, and if their factory which style.
i took of the center round cap and i don't see any BMW or BBS markings so they may be after market.
please and thank you. __________________

I'm gonna have to agree with midget on this one, about the non-genuine bit that is. I searched a bit through factory BMW wheel charts and such..and couldn't find anything resembling yours. Then again, they could be older wheels and the charts just don't carry back that far...get Mallard in here. __________________  | | | | | 01-26-2008, 07:30 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 |

those dont look like something bmw would make atleast not anything new just because the center cap is so large. This is either something from the early 80s or the 70s __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last

i replaced the center emblems today, and one was missing, when i went to put the same sized emblem as all the others, it didn't fit quite right, so im leaning to after market too __________________
