My new wheels: 16x8" ET22...but what are they?!

[M42Technik]

Okay, so while you cry at what I'm showing you, can anyone tell me what they really are?

Here's the facts. They are 16x8". The outer lips are larger. They are 36 bolt, while most BBS are either 30 or others 34 bolts...so I'm perplexed. There are some markings, but not many. See below. And weep...

Damn street racers.

I came across them in a eBay auction. Called up the buyer, saw I was really an interested E30 guy, sold them to me, ended the auction.

it's a labor of love! it's not that hard really, it just takes time - about 15 minutes per wheel. and they look great clean :)

Three piece. I'm hoping someone knows what they are...

More pictures of markings to help identify them...







Also, I'll be running 205/50/16 ES100's. I bought them a while back for wheels I thought I was getting, so I'm glad I kept them...

However, one kinda has a flatspot. Does that go away after driving enough? Thats what I've heard...

Nah, but you should be able to have it straightened out for not too much green.

I have ALWAYS wondered what that symbol was.

Those are cheap chinese BBS knock offs. They are made of bubble gum and may fail at any moment.

Serious, they are a ticking time bomb.
