What rims are these?

Bjr888 · 05-10-2017, 10:49 PM

Hello, I bought my 08 135i with these rims on it. The front's are 8x18 et35 and the rears are 9x18 et35. I've never had any issues with the fronts rubbing, but the rears do. I was hoping I could find the same rim in a different offset but did not notice any manufacturers markings on the rim. Does anyone recognize them?

CSL replica with a custom finish. Not sure how you're going to figure out which company made these. As far as I know, two options as of now are VMR and Sportline

No clue but they are good looking wheels.

Here they are:

They are knockoff wheels so they don't have a brand name.

What size tire are you running in the rear? You could go smaller tires. Or get a fender roll. Or camber plates. These are all cheaper options than 2 new wheels.

Or you could get 2 8x18 et35 for the rear.

Nice find...thanks for the help. Can't seem to find any listings for different offsets for the rear which is a bummer. If my rubbing seems to be pretty minimal on the outside edge of the tire, do you think -2 deg of camber may help the situation? The rears are 18x9 et35 with a 245/35/18 which appear to be stretched pretty well already so I don't think a smaller tire will work. I did just have coilovers and camber plates installed but haven't had an alignment done just yet, but did notice some rub on a hit on the way home. Would it be possible to machine a few millimeters off the barrel of these rims to achieve what I need?
