    need help IDing wheels

    I'm helping a friend sell some wheels (he's having surgery soon) and was wondering if you guys can help me ID a few sets. If you have a link to a website with info I'd appreciate that too.

    Borbet Sport 7.5x16. I was told they're for an E36. Et 120? What do the other stamps mean?



    8.5x17 ET15. E38? What are they called?


    7.5x16 ET20. E34? What are they called?


    BBS moda 7.5x15 ET18. E34 540i?


    Thanks

    2nd wheels are style 42 I think, I only have seen them in 17x8 et20 for e39 and 16" 1 piece lame ducks for e46.

    give me a price on the style 42's if you confirm e38 center bore and offset

      Those second ones look more like copies of style 42's to me. I have a real set of 17x8 style 42's sitting in the garage ready to go on my e30 5 lug and they look a bit different than those pictured...

        if they have bbs stamped on em and are real two piece they have to be real bmw/bbs though. Get a triple square bit and see if those rivets come out

          The third set also looks like copies of style 32's

          Real style 42's have the stamping on the face between each lug hole... Those pictured do not seem to have that.

          Here is a link to OEM BMW wheels

              For the first set, the stamping is slightly misleading. I think they are ET40, 5x120. And they're called Borbet Type T's. And the fourth set are Moda Sports, they should fit E30 M3 / E34 / E28 / etc etc.

              And none of them appear to be OEM wheels (referring to 2 and 3).

                You guys are right, the 2nd and 3rd sets are copies. And the second ones are not 2-piece. Good to know about the Borbets and Modas. Thanks for the info.
