Which wheels are these?
« on: March 19, 2010, 06:34:47 PM »
I saw these today on the local craigslist and was wondering if they're any bit decent.  I wouldn't mind having 15" wheels over my stock 14" weaves.  Are these a BBS wheel or some sort of knockoff?

Might be Konig knockoffs.  Hard to say without the center caps.  I'd still consider them if the price was right and they fit.  I'd guess a 15x7 would need about 35mm offset so it wouldn't rub the strut.  I'd also want the hub to fit like a stock rim on the BMW 56.1mm hub.

I'll bring some tools to measure them when I go look at them.  Hopefully I can find some markings to identify if they're knock offs or not.

Unfortunately, the guy wont answer emails back so might not even get to look at them.
