I picked these up at a local yard for $30 per wheel, with the intention of using them for snow tires on my E34. I cleaned up some mildew that was growing, and they look pretty nice. I found them at the yard, bolted to a poor E28 535i that had no rust, was in excellent shape both inside and out (the damn dashboard had no cracks even!) and I could swear was crying out "Save me!" but alas, I don't have room for another project car.
Anyway, I've scoured the internet for all types of OEM BMW wheels, and these do not match any description. They have "Made in Italy" embossed on the inside of each wheel. They're 15x7, 5x120mm bolt pattern, and appear to have 74mm hubs (I noticed they have 2mm hubcentric rings which made them fit snugly on the E28, as well as my E34). They're also damn heavy, noticeably moreso than the OEM wheels of the same size. I'm not too concerned about that because I never push the car too hard with snow shoes, but I thought I'd point it out.
Any idea on manufacturer?

Fun fact: They are not an OEM BMW wheel.

I'd guess Cromodora Wheels since they're from Italy and make some of the OEM BMW wheels.

74.1mm hub means they were made for an e39, thats all I know. Made in italy means they are aftermarket obviously, or maybe some sort of replicas but I'm not sure what this would be a replica of.

I know I'm late to the party and everyone knows they're not BMW wheels but I'll throw in my two cents anyways. They don't have the little holes near the middle for the KDS alignment heads. OE BMW wheels pretty much always do.

I don't remember the manufacturer but I know theres an Italian company that makes replica BMW wheels, these would appear to be such, particularly Style 32s I believe.
