Pat,

Yes, they are BMW style 32 Radial Spoke wheels in 16 x 7 inch size, 20 mm offset. They were originally a BMW dealer option on E39 528i's. Since my car uses wheel studs, the hubcentric issue is moot. They fit perfectly, although the Coupe could use slightly less front rim width for appearances sake only, they don't rub anywhere, and no spacers are needed. I"m contemplating either a 5 mm or 10 mm spacer on the rear, again for appearances only so haven't done that yet, and may not do it at all.

The tires are Yokohama AVS Sport in 225/50-16. They are superb tires on this car.
