I am looking to replace the metric alloys on my E28 528i, and have been advised by everyone to find some E34 cross spokes.

I have located these, but it states that they are metric? Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Some E34's came with metric wheels as standard, you need to find some 15" non-metric E34 basketweave or cross spoke alloys. Any non-metric wheels advertised as fitting the E28, E32 or E34 will be a direct fitment and wheels from a E39 will fit but need a centering/spigot ring.

Hi Chris,

My 528i which you can see pictures of on the 5 series pictures topic, page 6, has 16" alessios on it with 225/50/16s on them. They may be coming up for sale soon, as I am hoping to upgrade to 17 or 18" wheels shortly.

I must be spending to much time on the American forums . They all seem to call E30 M3 and E28 M5 wheels basketweaves . I was half close with basketweavers .
