Trying to get centres for my M3 wheels.
BBS 8J x 16 H2ET20 076769 RS061

BMW say they were 7.5J x 16
BBS S36112225621

Now would the centres for the 7.5J x16 fit the 8J x 16 wheels

My centres 2 x09.24.011 and 1x 09.24.028 1x missing

Any Ideas

As far as I'm aware the centres for the 15" & 16" wheels are all the same.

8*16 and et20.

They are not original m3 wheels. your dealer are correct that they should be 7.5*16 and et27.

sounds like you've got rims off a 740.

the centrecaps on these look quite different., but order the correct ones for the wheels. m3 caps will not fit your wheels.

btw 15" and 16" caps are not exactly the same, but the 15" caps will go onto the 16" wheel. they don't look perfect, but are better than nothing.
but neither of the 15" or 16" caps will fit your wheels. they are a later, different design.

Been there today, not a lot of help. Mind you looks like i've got 740 wheels. Asking the wrong question.
