They're 8.5 wide front and 9.5 wide rear, 5x120 BP and it looks to be a really low (sticking out) offset... I dont think H&R makes a 5x120 to 5x100 or 4x100 adapter/spacer even... and if they did, they couldnt keep em under the fenders or anywhere close. Even on a widebody car, they would be too wide...

They probably fit a Mercedes. Maybe if you stripped the ugly ass paint off and polished them they'd look decent, but gawddamn those things are ugly. Since they 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 I'll bet they are heavy. Good way to kill acceleration. Nothing like adding a chip and intake and exhaust just to turn the tires and make stock power.

Rich is right. The E34 was too low of an offset for them to work.. they would be crazy I agree, but it's just not practical to do

Won't fit our cars, eh? Sounds like something for me to bid on.

But on a serious note, anyone know what model these are? I've never seen Borbet wheels like them before... Must be some old skool ones, but I'd like a name to search for.
