BMW wheels on an 89 Formula
Will these wheels fit my Formula?

If so, anybody got any pics of a 3rd gen with them on it?

Re: BMW wheels on an 89 Formula
research tells me they have a +20mm offset, you would need a 1in spacer/adapter all around. i wouldnt put a 16x7 rim on our cars, in most cases this is a downgrade in performance since many cars came with 16x8s. im not really a fan of the rim to begin with but to each their own

Re: BMW wheels on an 89 Formula
A search should provide some info on this. Either BMW (title only) or E39 rims (entire post option).

Re: BMW wheels on an 89 Formula
Thanks for the responses. Sounds like it's way over my head to consider BMW wheels. I saw the ones in the CL link and thought I would ask. I looked at the links Scorpner provided (thanks Scorpner). I had looked at several of them in my searching. Good info.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
