FREE: 15x7 BMW Style 2 wheels

Post by Chicagotrader92 »

BMW style 2 wheels - 15x7 , et20 offset, 5x120 bolt pattern. They are fitted with an older set of Michelin 205/65 tires that have 04-05 date codes (I think)

Came off an E32, and I had them on my E28 for a bit. Great condition.

Two of the center caps are missing the thin metal BMW roundel sticker (I used them for my Style 5s). You can get them for $5 on Amazon.

I'd rather have storage at this point.

FREE for you guys. Pick up only. I can send text pictures of how they looked on the E28.

Chicago, West Town area.

I think these look awesome if you lose the center caps, paint the area under the cap black, and fit early E12 center caps. Sort of a poor-man's Alpina!

Those are the harder (dare say rarer) versions with the scalloped openings. These have the same part numbers (BMW and WCC) as the other more prevalent versions which don't have the scallop (just clear openings), so researching them is more difficult. I ran a set of these on my first US 535i after ditching the TRX's.

These are more common versions:

Of course this only matters to whomever is looking for this type of Style 2's.

I agree, that could be pretty cool. Not sure if they would fit over my E34 brake "upgrade" anymore. To be clear, the center caps are still here, it's just the roundel emblem that's missing on two of them.

It depends, I know for a fact that at Stage V Big Brake upgrade does fit under them as I did this on my US '88 535i. Style 2's ran on E32's ergo 15" wheels work with an E32/34 brake setup.
If you're talking about the E34 M5 setup then likely not.

Free??? A most generous offer. No use to me on the left coast, let along not having anything interesting anymore. :oops: But I was jacked, and bought, for far more than you're asking, a set out of a yard long ago. Super desirable no, a 1,000X upgrade on TRX's, absolutely!

They have been on craigslist for months with zero bites. I don't even care anymore. They are taking up too much closet space in my apartment.

I use to run the "BBS" style 15-inch E34 wheels on my E28 535i until switching to the 16-inch Style 29 from the E39. The 15" wheels had varying success in clearing the E28 M5 brakes I had on the car, and different brands (Lemmer, Alu) had varying amounts of clearance. I remember in some cases having to grind off some of the casting inside the spokes on one brand where it stuck out a bit, and on others they fit perfectly without any modification. :dunno:
