BMW OEM 1 Series Wheel Chart

Summertime and time for summer tires... and maybe time for new wheels. After looking through way too many threads I couldn't find a comprehensive chart of OEM wheels (apologies if already posted). Anyway, I figured there might be other people that could use these links.

This link provides wheel weights for many of the styles but no part numbers.

This link is a little different and doesn't have wheel weights but it does have most part numbers.

After spending a couple of minutes checking out the different styles I realized that most of the aftermarket wheels I really like were inspired by factory wheels. One of my "problems" though, besides having a preference for the 128i over the 135i, is having preference for 17s over 18s and that limits my aftermarket choices.

True that the M359 wheel (M3 GTS + 1M) is a great design, hard to be beaten by aftermarket wheel designers.

Its design seems to be clearly inspired by the cool E46 M3 CSL wheel.

Only regret: BMW should release a gunmetal version of both these wheels - that would be a sure-fire hit. Why did BMW miss out on that opportunity ?

Actually, there were two wheel codes for the CSL wheel:
- wheel code 127: original CSL wheel (235/35 + 265/30)
- wheel code 163: "CSL style" - "ZCP" - "Competition" (225/40 + 255/35)

CSL FTW! I wish there was an OEM version for the 1er. Since BBS does make OEM wheels does this count?

How about Apex EC-7?

Anthracite has a gunmetal look.
