Split rims Empty
PostSubject: Split rims   Split rims EmptyFri Sep 05 2008, 20:11

This may well be a stupid question, but:

I've found some twm piece wheels measuring 17*7.5 (front) and 17*8.5 (rear) to go on my next car. They're OEM wheels and look awesome if not fairly 'weak'. My plan was to run the rears up front and replace the rear rims with something a little more manly, i.e. 9J+.

My question is, do all 17" split rims have the same number of bolts? I'm guessing the answer is no, but then why sell a car with OEM split rims which don't fit fook all?

The wheels in question are 328i e36 wheels (apologies for the eBay links, Google Images sucks):
