Identify these BBS mystery wheels!

[iamsam]

So, here is all the info I have. According to the owner, the castings on the wheels say:

7J x 16 H2 and 112 ET11

8J x 16 H2 and 113 ET24

So they are a staggered set, two of each of the above castings, and they say "BBS" and "Mahle" on them too. I also got some ridiculously grainy pics. Supposedly 5x120, since they supposedly came off a BMW.

Now, I know what the castings above mean other than the "112" and "113", but what wheels are these more specifically?

Thanks guys!




Sorry for the crappiness of the pics, that is all I have to work with...

also we have a thread for this

what am I supposed to do, scroll through 1500 pages in the BBS thread till I see something similar? I have no idea what to type in as a search other than "Mahle 16x7" or something, and I figured one of you guys would instantly recognize these, even from the 0.5 megapixel images.

and also, thanks for the wheel recognition, I will use your info for further searching.

oh dang, I didn't even see that one, that is my fault! I thought you were originally referring to the BBS Garage one.

The are RAs, usually came in the e28 and e34. You want to sell them

You want to sell them

negatory.

They are BBS-Mahles. They essentially an RA, but from before they started calling them that. They were optional wheels on E12's E24's and some early E28's IIRC.

[grippymonkey]

I used to have a set in 14" et13... don't remember the width. They came off a 2002. They cleaned up really nice. The only indication on them was the same "Mahle" which like Hooker said is like the RA.
