Wheel ID
 
I just bought new 17" wheels for my E36, they're supposed to be replicas (a Taiwanese knockoff). Can anyone identify the original from this picture, and how close does it come to the original?

Nah, the middle is different. There's an extra lip

well he said they were knockoffs so i figured they wouldnt be exactly the same

just FYI, even though I am a newb, I got ripped off by AAArims. I never bent a rim in my life, and I have bent 2 of the m-parallels I bought from them...

on another note, I'd like to get a set of the acs type III's. Just don't have the cash flow right now...

Thanks for trying guys . . . I know I've seen the style, maybe on a 5 series, but what's throwing me off is the shiny silver edge- that's definitely not OEM. I'm on a budget, and found these for $425 for the set of 4. I threw on a set of Kumho 711's and was done for $700 altogether. I think I'll be happy with them for the summer at least.

Ahhhh! Finally figured it out . . they're BBS LM copies- bad ones at that, no bolts around the edge, for starters. But hey- whaddaya want for 4 and a quarter! Maybe I'll crazy glue some bolts around the edge- he he! (that was a joke).
