Original Wheels

[Truman]

I've recently bought a 2.5Si..I'm fairly certain the wheels it has on aren't the originals..is there any way I can find out would the car would have left the showroom with when it was first bought?

Post a picture and someone will tell you

I could do that (already have on the newbie section) but as there are so many options for wheels how would anyone know what was originally ordered on this particular car? Would the VIN give any indication?

Go on BMW vin .com put in vin and you should get full spec from manufacturers

You've got CSL wheels (may be reps). Good wheel and suit the car really well! Not sure what you would have had as standard - but it wouldn't have been those wheels! Maybe the car originally came with 107 or 108's!

mine came with 103 from factory just depends on customer choice

Apparently it came with Msport double spoke 135...I assume 18" although it doesn't give the wheel size...does that sound about right..?

135 = MV2 I believe so yes 18"

It most likely did have the style 135 'MV2' wheels:

8.0" et47 on the front
8.5" et50 on the rear

Very interesting, didn't realise you could do this, & have just done it!
Under 'vehicle options' does this mean what you "could" have had if you wanted or what you actually "have" had?
Makes interesting reading & thank you for the link.

OK thanks very much ...what are people's thoughts regarding the different wheels ie CSL reps or original 135's?
