Re: Beemer Teaser
They arent the same unless he modified them but they will fit. It is not advised to use them as is because the pattern isnt the exact same and could lead to major problems like wheels coming off. Like the OP said, there are sides to the subject.
Heres a good thread on the subject where someone modified their wheels.

i regularly check the lugs once a week anyway, ive never had one come loose and i do not use a torque stick, hand tight then 2 quick zips with the impact, 12 years, same way, never lost a wheel.

Re: Beemer Teaser
Im not saying it wont work, just that the wheels werent designed for that car and could possibly cause problems down the line.

Re: Beemer Teaser
Its kind of something you have to roll with in this case. Regardless of whether or not you want posts in the thread about proper fitment, its going to happen.

Re: Beemer Teaser (Visual Mock Up BMW Wheels) M359 Series
I just bought the same wheels! Got them yesterday. Are yours the 18" staggered setup? What size tires are you running? I posted a pic in the "show me your aftermarket wheels" thread, page 3.

These are factory 19x10 rears 19x9.5 fronts, rears have 275/30/19's and fronts have 255/35/19's. I may move up to a 315/40/19 in the rear when I find a gold bar on the ground somewhere.

Re: Beemer Teaser
wheels look good! Any idea what they weight? I looked them up and could not find that bit of info. I kinda like them.
And just to clarify this bit of what looks to be misinformation, factory tolerences are much much tighter than .0225" which is the difference in pattern between 5x120 and 5x120.65. Compared to a factory tolerance of a couple thousandths or less, thats MASSIVE. The cheap Chinese knock off wheels have tighter tolerances than that.

Re: Beemer Teaser (Visual Mock Up BMW Wheels) M359 Series
I got the 18x8.5 fronts and the shipping weight was 58lbs for the pair. The rear 18x9.5's were 63lbs. This included the boxes and packing materials.
