Only rims I know about for sure are the 230s. They are BBS.

SV Concepts · 11-24-2006, 01:03 PM

CSL Wheels are BBS, but no, not all OEM wheels are

CirrusSR22 · 11-24-2006, 01:14 PM

Not E90 wheels, but the wheels on my E36 are Cromodora. Made in Italy and also found on some Ferraris, Fiats, Lamborghinis, Alfas, etc.

The 17x8" 158s that came on my 330xi ZSP are made by BBS in Germany, I noticed the stamp when I swapped them out for my winters.

I just got a new set of BMW OEM 162's, no tires on them, and they are stamped "Cromodora Wheels S.P.A." on the part of the rim where you would not see it if a tire was mounted. This is an Italian factory that made wheels for all brands of Italian cars for many years and made the wheels for the Ferrari 308. I've read that others have this brand of wheel on stock E36's so BMW has been using them for a while now. I've read that Ronal and BBS were the maker of the 162's but not so on mine. Part number on mine is 36 11 6 775 601(18x8), but there is another BMW part number of 36 11 6 765 816 which refers to the same wheel.

I've heard someone mention his 161s are made by TSW. Not sure about that though.
