It had the 17" wheels when i bought it and the VIN report lists them as coming with the car. I have converted to 313s which i love, but still have the 17" wheels.

My 1st 135i ('08) had the sport package and came stock with the 18" 264 wheels. My 2nd (and current) 135i has the M Sport package and came stock with the 18" 261 wheels, which I switched to the 18" 313s. I love the 313s as well.
At least on the 128i, the convertible came with smaller wheels (the non-sport 'vert had 16" wheels, compared to the coupe which had 17" wheels - although I thought that all M-Sport and Sport 128i's had 17" wheels?)

Another possibility is that the original owner spec'ed 17" wheels. I believe that was a no-cost option on all 135i's, mostly chosen by those in northern climates. If you know the Style number, we can dig around and figure it out.
