Sound like they might be Khan wheels or new Borbet ones-other option is non-BM specific make made to fit.

Borbet Type E


Borbet Type T

ALMOST !!!!!!!!!!
 
YES These are the wheels, but the ones I saw had that
6" dish on the back and a 3"dish on the front, much more
than the Schintzer 2 wheels.
 
This is definetly the design, just the dish is different, do
you think they are copies or something else weird ???
 
Thanx

You guys are great, so damn helpful !
 
No ! Not them, the dish was a good 6" on the rear
and at least 3" on the front.
 
The spokes are about right, but obviously set
back in the dish.  Also the spokes had a raised
piece that ran down the middle of each one.
 
I wonder if whoever susses out these wheels wins a prize !!

Yup, the dish is spot on, but the spokes are narrower.
 
I guess these are expensive then !

Thanks guys, close but not the ones.
 
They are MUCH deeper dish than those pictures above,
maybe as much as 6 or 7 inches of 'dish' and then the
wheel is like the five spoke parallel, but filled in and not
spoked, so 5 solid 'legs' if you like.
 
The front ones had like half the dish of the rears if
you know what I mean.
 
Its driving me mad !  They were on a 5 series

At a guess I'd say you're thinking about the M parallel 18" wheels:



?

Im looking for a set of wheels to fit my 540i (that im getting!) the ones I want are deep dish, and have very few spokes.  I dont know who they are made by, but think they might be made by BMW. They are really, really deep dish, polished and then I think a 5 spoke alloy.
 
Any ideas what wheels Ive seen ?
 
Thanks
