    Got a stumper for you guys. (what wheels are these?)





    They are not standard BMW bottle caps nor are they a OEM VW wheel.

    Reason I state they are not BC's is they do not have the lip on the outside edge, they have a machined surface vs. a rough cast and the et is 33 where I have read BC's are 35. Also there is no type of printing around the lug holes.

    I've looked on the wheel for any type of maker but, nothing is listed.

    Jap crap? Maybe made by one of the dozens of companies also known as Ronal?

        the part after BMW on the sticker is Italian for new series, if that may spark someone that has a hunch.

                haha no. they are bottlecaps. why would anyone try to replicate them? all that work to make ZERO dollars. the machined lip is cool but not on that rim. that FORCES you to either balance them with tape weights or static balance it on the inside only. LAMEEE what a waste of time and resources
