Photo Request: e9x on Style 71

Schm · 11-01-2014, 07:02 PM

Hey guys,

I've acquired some Style 71's to use as my winter wheels. I think they're 18x8 all around but not sure of the offsets. My wheel guy and I test fitted them and he says that I should only need about 1/4in spacers (Or translated into the King's English about 7mm) all around.

Anybody have any ideas here what sizes of spacers I should get? Current offsets for my 330i are ET 34 ET37. What other possible offsets could these wheels be? Before I bought them I thought they were ET47 ET50 staggered (stock setup) but not true- the owner didn't know what they were only that he planned on putting them on a 740li- presuming he meant an e38. Pics of the wheels and one pic of an e90 with them on. Anyone have more pictures with this style??

(Provided these will work) the wheels will be powdercoated black for winter.

there are so man different variations of this wheel:

best bet would be to look at the embossed letter on the back of the alloy to see the offset and widths...

Thanks for your reply achu. I dug the wheels out and they're ET35 all around, and I found out they're made by Cromodora in Italy. I am buying 12mm and 20mm spacers.

Powdercoating is going to be way over my budget, so Plastidip it is. Will update when I get them (hopefully) on this winter.

Quick update: The wheels were too narrow for my rear snow tires, so I sold them for more than I bought them for to a guy with an e46. Hopefully they serve him better than me!
