Help Me Identify These Wheels?

treid · 02-28-2017, 10:51 AM

I'm very new to BMW - picking up an e90 335xi tonight! I won a pair of wheels in an auction and I am having trouble identifying them. Hoping someone with more knowledge can help!

They appear to be the M359 style, in gunmetal? I do not see "BMW" cast into the wheel anywhere, so I am assuming they are not OEM. They are 19x9.5 et38.

Any ideas who the manufacturer might be? It sounds like these will fit my pre-lci 335xi sedan on Bilstein sport suspension?

Thank you!

What about the wheels tells you they are Avant Garde? I ask because I don't see a gunmetal or 19x9.5" option on their website.

I hit weekly auctions at a local industrial surplus store. You never know what will be up for sale... many of the items are damaged freight or lost packages from UPS/Fedex. I suspect these wheels were the latter.

I don't think these are AG, I'm thinking crappy reps.

Look like Hyper Black to me not Gunmetal.

Good call, I hadn't heard of that color. Don't see a lot of results in Google, but I think you are right. Does this point to a particular manufacturer?

I didn't think the crappy rep ones had the place for the 'M' sticker though

I don't think they're Avant Garde because they're 9.5, although they used to do a slimmer size so they might be older ones, hard to find anything on.

M359's, probably repros. Have a set on my car. 19x9.5 and a +28 will be a great fit..

Here's where I bought mine. Mine are hyper silver, and also came with the "M" indentation, so you can apply the adhesive sticker thing. Center caps weren't included. When I bought mine, gunmetal was an option, but I don't see them on the site anymore.

Your car looks great. What wheels size/offset are you running?

Mine are et38. Would like to narrow down the color and manufacturer so I can order a matching front set.

19x10 +25 square, with 5mm spacers on the rear. 265/30/19 Continentals.

I'll dig around tonight and see what I can find, as far as locating a manufacturer, but they look like the gunmetal M359's from Klutch.
