Yes they are 740 wheels P/N is actually 1182277.I have a set havnt but them on my M535 yet but did a test fit with a 225x50x16 tyre that I cant remeber the brand.They just "kissed" the front strut.
Bob are the Dunlop SP8000 any good and did you bother doing anything about the slight rub?
Like what are they like compared to the TRX's
I,m currently slightly modifing the centre caps they they go on ok as the E28 bearing cap must be a bit bigger on the E28.


===================================

I recently purchased a 1989 635CSI with original wheels. I need to know if I can substitute 16x8 BMW wheels from a 5 series on my car. The part number according to bmwwheels.com is 182 277. Basically I'm trying to find 16x8 BBS style/look wheels. I've attached a link to the picture of the rims I'm thinking of purchasing. Thanks in advance for your input.


Don't know the part number, but these look like the 740 wheels I have on my car. O.K. with Dunlops SP 8000 at 225X50X16 with a trace rub on the front struts. Wheel ET=23MM. Different tires=different rubs. Some manufacturers tires are a bit wider and some a bit narrower.
