Where to find very hard-to-find rim

[jlfarley]

I need ONE 18" parallel wheel for a 328is. This is the wheel that you see on many 740's. Problem is, the company that made mine no longer makes it. Any idea where I could find this wheel? I'm desperate! I really don't want to have to buy new wheels!

Have you tried BMW Wheels?

 

[jlfarley]

Yep, they don't have it.

Can you post a photo of the wheel and or a model number.

I think the M Parallel is one of the best looking BMW rims.

I found a company called Factory Reproductions number is 800-824-2676

Found it in my Bimmer magazine

We know a few people who have those rims on their 740iL with sport Pkg. BMW really stopped making those wheels? They were really popular, and there must be tens of thousands of cars on the road with those. Seems very un-BMW not to support a wheel, that is fairly recent.

7 series have different offset than 3 series; therefore, the wheel was most likely a replica, not an actual 7-series wheel.

I finally found one.

Someone stole one of mine. How stupid is that to steal one rim?

he prolly had an easier time finding one than you did, and cheaper too! how many other 3 series cars have you seen with the same wheels? chances are that one of them is yours?
