    Bottle caps or "insert name of other rim" ?

    So you all know my black spoked bottles:



    Well a collegue of my dads owns a nice old 318 in need of a bit of tlc. Any way he has a set of wheels on it that i know nothing about, accept that i like them. What do you guys think? Im certain i could swap them for next to nothing with him.
    Anybody recognise them? they've bmw centers, are they originals? measurments? Are they better than my bottles? What are they worth?
    and any thing else u think i should know would be great.
    Answer even one of these questions and i would greatly appreceate it.

    *edit*
    Pictures:



    Looks to me they fill the arches so nice.

                            Love the MiM's I would get a set if I had the cash and found some.

                              on a tangent of this thread..

                              that is the most beautifully prepped/painted polished-lip bottle cap wheel I have ever, ever seen. wow..

                              with re-furbished center cap/roundel ta' boot !

                              wow.

                              sorry.. that was somehow refreshing/inspiring to see.
                              (i've never seen a nicer 'bottle cap')
                              (it is a damn, DAMN pity that an internal wheel-weight wasn't used)

                              wow..
                              i'm still doing a double-take..

                              that bottlecap is a crazy [refreshing] break from the norm of worn/discarded/un-cared-for bottlecap wheels.
