BMW Performance Wheels

amdmaxx · 11-22-2008, 08:21 AM

I think those wheels are amazing looking.
Will they fit 1 series (is it same offset as 3 series?)

I sure hope they make one for the 1 series.

MastaMind · 11-22-2008, 12:02 PM

Those are definitely some nice wheels. Much better than the current offering for the 1 series.

Feyd · 11-22-2008, 03:37 PM

HOT

emm3tt · 11-22-2008, 04:31 PM

Whoa! Reminiscent of the M-parallel wheels for the E39 5-series.

Those are nice, I have always been a sucker for 5-star split spoke wheels. I just wish BMW would make their performance wheels lighter.

While we're (sort of) on the subject, I notice on the BMWUSA Web site that Winter wheels and tires are listed for many models, but not the 1 Series. Any hints on that? I really would like 17" wheels, but I'd be interested to see anything.

Have Fun,
Rick

S54dan · 11-24-2008, 10:21 AM

The calipers are recommended for 18" wheels, so this is my only guess as to why they don't list 17's for the 1er.

gatorfast · 11-24-2008, 05:40 PM

Those are beautiful! I wonder if there will be a 19" fitment?

Tijuana · 11-24-2008, 08:14 PM

Those are hot. I don't think BMW will release them in 1 series specific fitment. They look to be 19" to me in this pic or is it my imagination?

arrutled · 11-24-2008, 08:27 PM

well i gotta have them!!! they are gorgeous!!!!! Im seriously drooling

G5Ti · 11-24-2008, 08:52 PM

I stole the wheel from the 3 and put it on the 1. They appear to be 18":

Maybe this will be clearer. The 3er wheel is definitely larger... assuming the image is accurate, which it probably isn't. The calipers also appear to have more clearance to the wheel in the 3er, but I do not know if the rotors/calipers are the same size.

gatorfast · 11-24-2008, 09:14 PM

Yea they def look like 19's when compared to the 1er performance wheels.

pousa13 · 11-25-2008, 12:26 AM

I would also say these are 19" so they won´t be aviable for the 1 but if somebody really puts them on a 1 I want to see pictures - i really fell in love with them
