    Anyone know what wheel this is?

    I'm hoping someone can identify this wheel for me. It's suppose to be 15". It's on a parts car I just bought, but I haven't seen the car in person yet. Thanks.

    I am near 100% sure it is not a BMW wheel. I am unsure of what it might be. It looks more like a VW aftermarket wheel.
    '89 "is" = M technic II build mode.

      it's looks like an aftermarket FWD wheel. Like for a civic and such. Doesn't look like it fits on the car. and Is that 15 or a 14. looks tiny.

        It does look small and like I said, I haven't seen the car in person. I'm hoping to see the car in the next week or so. It was hit in the front and I really got it for the interior. Once I look at it, I'll see if there are any markings on the wheels. Just thought someone might recognize them. Here is a shot on the car.

            It's not really my taste, that's for sure. I really doubt it's a BMW wheel myself. I figured I'd try to sell them on Craigslist if they were at least decent.

              That would be my guess seeing that the spokes are curved out so far to create a high offset "deep dish" look like that.

                  Finally got the car. The wheels are some kind of Millie Miglia's, I think they are Avia's. And yes, the guy was running some serious spacers. Anyone know who the US distributor is for Miglia's. Tire Rack doesn't seem to list them anymore. Thanks.

                      Nope, Discount Tire doesn't carry them either. Oh well, it doesn't matter too much. I'll through them on Craigslist and see if anyone loves them. Thanks for all the help!

                        I was gonna say at the top, 'They look like cheap Italian wheels.' I woulda been right too, lol. So much for being late to the thread.

                          Looks like a cheap copy of the Z3 1.9 wheel.
