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

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

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

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

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 !!

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

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