Purpose and BMW fitment

The wheel has been designed for BMW E81, E87, and E88 series models, meaning its geometry, bolt pattern, and rim profile are tailored to the suspension characteristics of these vehicles. Properly selected mounting parameters help maintain correct wheel geometry, which translates into predictable handling, stability at higher speeds, and proper interaction with the braking system and safety features.

Construction, material, and color

The wheel belongs to the Wheels category and is made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to classic steel solutions. The aluminum construction promotes better suspension response to road irregularities and makes the wheel easier to keep clean. The silver color creates a cohesive, universal look that complements both light and dark body paints, while the Spoke 222 pattern gives the whole a dynamic, modern character.

Performance parameters and operating characteristics

The wheel has a specific diameter, width, offset, center bore, and number of mounting holes, ensuring compatibility with factory BMW hubs and bolts. These configured parameters contribute to:

• proper wheel seating in the wheel arch without the risk of rubbing against suspension components,
• stable load transfer during braking and acceleration,
• even distribution of forces on the hub and running gear.

As a result, the wheel can be used both as a replacement for a factory wheel and as a component to complete a set of summer or winter wheels, while maintaining the vehicle's proper driving characteristics.

Condition, application, and benefits of installation

The wheel is offered as a used item, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged wheel while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This is a practical solution in situations where it is necessary to replace a single wheel after mechanical damage or when the user wants to complete an existing set. Using an original BMW alloy wheel helps maintain a consistent look for the car while ensuring predictable vehicle behavior on the road.
