Rim purpose and construction

The presented rim belongs to the Wheels category and was developed as a chassis component dedicated to BMW models, in particular the BMW E87. The construction based on the multi-spoke Double Spoke pattern ensures even load distribution, which promotes stable vehicle behavior at higher speeds and during dynamic maneuvers.

The aluminum material of the rim reduces unsprung mass compared to steel wheels, which can positively affect suspension response and handling precision. The geometric parameters of the rim are selected to maintain the correct body line, appropriate track width, and compatibility with factory BMW suspension and brake components.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim has been designed for a five-hole mounting, typical for many BMW models, with a properly selected bolt pattern diameter and offset. This configuration facilitates installation on BMW hubs without the need for spacers or non-factory solutions, provided the selection is made in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.

The diameter and width of the rim allow for the use of tire profiles often chosen in factory and sports configurations, which makes it easier to match tires to the preferred driving style. The aluminum construction of the rim also promotes effective cooling of brake discs and pads, which is important during intensive vehicle use.

Product condition and user benefits

The rim is offered as a used item, which represents a favorable compromise between purchase cost and maintaining original BMW specifications. For many users, this is a practical way to restore the consistent look of a wheel set after one of the rims has been damaged or to replace a single element without the need to invest in a new set.

Key advantages of this model include:

• original Double Spoke design stylistically matched to the BMW E87 line,
• aluminum construction promoting the reduction of unsprung mass,
• geometry prepared for factory BMW suspension and brake systems,
• possibility of use as a replacement in an existing set of wheels.
