    RARE: 16" Bottlecaps (Style 15)

    SOLD

    Yes, you heard right. 16" bottlecaps! These are e38 Style 15s, 16x7.5 et20. They are very hard to find, because what 7 series buyer would have chosen these over M-parallels or other nice e38 wheels. However, they look fantastic on e30s, e28s, and other 80s vintage BMWs.

    I've only seen one set in person (Art's car) and I've never seen a set for sale on the forums since I've been a member. This may be your only chance to buy them.

    For you 4x100 guys, these would fit an e30 with adapters, or they can be 'fill-n-drilled' like e38 style 5s.

    They are in decent shape, but not perfect, by any means. There are a couple scratches on the faces, a couple small bends (nothing that will cause problems), and the normal rust-colored spots along the lips (which may come off with some hard scrubbing). Please see the pictures below for condition as well. The two pictures of the wheel backs are to show the small bends on those two wheels. There is only one centercap, but they can still be bought new, part #36131182205, so you wont have to go on a witch hunt for them.

















    Here are some pictures I found of this style of wheels on various cars. Its hard to find pictures because these wheels are so uncommon, and you probably can't find many more than what I did.

      Thanks. If I had an e30 I'd be running them myself.

                  These are screaming for a 3 piece conversion. The temptation is real..

                      jeezus

                      I dig different and these stock look great to me. I'm having all sorts of ideas right now let alone the possibility of 3-pice conversion...I've been figuring out my next set of wheels now for like a year and adding these to my small list.

                      interested.

                            Those look sick they'd be perfect for when I go 5-lug. Unfortunately I need sway bars more than I need these right now. GLWS!

                              Funny, I saw an e38 sitting on those just yesterday. I waited around for the owner to ask if he wanted to sell them to me, but he never came out of the store:/
