Will Style 55 fit 128i?
I'm considering a set of Style 55 wheels for my winter tires. I've searched the sticky and the whole subforum, but I can't find anything regarding these wheels. They are 16x7, ET46 ( http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/55 ). My car is a 128i with the M-Sport package. My understanding is that 16" should work on my car, and the offset is OK, but if anyone is able to offer something a bit more definitive it would be helpful in deciding whether to buy the wheels. Thanks.

Well, I dug a little deeper, and as the E46 (non-330/M3) and the 128i both use 300mm front brake discs, I'm going to go out on a limb and grab these. I'll confirm or deny once I've got them and can test fit.

Interesting - can I ask if you're looking at these for a winter setup? People running 16" on these cars is quite rare...
EDIT: Gut feel says that they will fit based only on width and offset. Only unknown is if the barrel design interferes with the calipers etc |

I've got the wheels now, so when I have a chance I'll pop a wheel off the car and do a test fit. They're OE wheels, and BMW hasn't changed their brake setups much over the years, so here's hoping they work. |

If the offset is low enough, it should fit. Buy a cheap set of 16" wheels and find out.
