So I took a couple pics with my iPhone and. There are no real tell tale signs of what they can be except they are 17's, they might possibly be a 2 piece rim, and it had a stamping on the side that said Avalini Design. I feel that the original owner is a douche and that he doesnt deserve the car and would like to liberate it from him, but I want to make I am getting my moneys worth. And yes they are five lug and yes this not an E30. Thanks for your help in advance.

sorry, it hurt my brain to after reading it. But I just want to figure out if those rims are worth anything.

nope. im fairly sure those are a set of bmw factory rims. might be wrong. but they don't look like racing wheels.

I couldn't find any that look like that here: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ They are NOT factory wheels.
They are Avalini "Formula" wheels. I can't find them for sale anywhere in the states, but a UK dealer sells them new here: http://www.custom-wheels-rims-alloys...eels-rims.html
Adding a BMW sticker doesn't make aftermarket wheels OEM...

yea, i checked that BMW factory rim website and didnt find a match. I was just so confused because he just kept on saying how expensive they were and how they were BMW "racing" rims. But thanks for your help!
