The backside of the spokes will be a different shape and the spokes may be a just bit narrower. Here are the specs. Price to weight ratio on this will be very nice.

18x7.5" ET 45, 17.2 lbs. $279 per wheel* (Matte Grey and Black)
18x8.5" ET 48, 17.6 lbs. $289 per wheel* (Matte Grey and Black)

Pictures are not available quite yet but they are in production and, as of today, scheduled to arrive to us early May, 2008.

OK, the stock 135i wheels are 49mm offset in front, so the 45mm offset will be further out towards the fender about 1/4", and the stock rear offset is 52mm so they will also be further out towards the fender 1/4". Is this correct? Its been a while since I ordered wheels. So the 1/4" won't really be seen very much, correct? I HATE tires that go past the fenders or even flush is pushing it. 1-2mm in from the fender looks perfect IMO.
