Can anyone identify these new OEM wheels?

All it says is "M Cross spokes design, 19"". Are these the same wheels from the E46 M3 ZCP? They look like them, but it seems like they would at least need a different offset.

Either way they look great. :rocks:

Guys did you miss that these are 19" wheels we are talking about?

Okay, so maybe the wheels in the car pictured are 197 wheels. But they look larger than 18", and plus 197 are not even mentioned in the article, so why show them?

And if they are 197, then that still leaves the mystery of what the 19s are that I refer to above. Although the said "M" so maybe they are talking about the new 225's.

They are clearly photoshoped 197's.
Indeed the photoshop work is quite poor.

Be that as it may, my question still stands. I.e. What is "M Cross spokes design, 19""?

Looking at the BMW wheels list here:

http://vogus.de/RIN/NL/index.html

225M are listed as "Double Spoke", so its not referring to those wheels. What's more, the 197's are indeed labeled "Cross Spoke". So, IMHO, these are a new wheeled styled like the 197 (and E46 CSL and ZCP) wheel in 19" size. They just photoshopped them because they didn't have pics yet.

What do you all think? Am I full of sh*t?
