Hi,

I am looking for rims for the winter to put on my MP5, I am trying to find something other then the crappy looking black rims with the hubcaps that everybody uses arround here in the winter. I found some BMW rims on e-bay for real cheap, I can't seem to find info on the bolt pattern, I called the bmw dealer and he measures a set for me and they are 5 x 114. Will that fit on a MP5, I know that we have 5 x 114.5 if i'm not mistaken.

 

ya it should be 5x114.3 I don't think there is any other size in that range.... 4x100... 5x100...???

 

BMW is 5x120 I think. no good.
Try your local rally shop for some used 15" gravel rims

 

Ya I know , the guy selling the BMW rims just sent me a e-mail saying the same thing 5x120.I am looking at some 92 acura legend mags that have 5x114 bolt pattern, the guy want 295 $ CAD, I told him he was crazy and he will never get that much for 10 year old factory rims, I offered him 125$ , he said he would think about it. I dont want gravel rims (those are the black ones that need hubcaps right?) even though its winter I still want my car to look descent.

 

No gravel rims are just normal rally wheels like compomotive.
( comp.co.uk ) TH2 and TH3.

They aren't the prettiest or lightest but they're tuf as nails and you might be able to find a good deal if some rally guys are getting rid of used ones.
