BMW X5 Rims
The BMW X5 combines utility with luxury. Most X5 models feature a 5x112 bolt pattern, 19" to 22" wheel size range, and offsets around 35–45mm. Choose BMW X5 OEM rims for load-rated safety and superior handling, especially if you're towing or carrying passengers frequently.

The X3 offers a perfect balance between sporty driving and family-friendly space. Compatible rims usually range from 18" to 21", with offsets between 30–40mm. Look for BMW X3 wheels with durable finishes like gloss black or satin for a clean look year-round.
BMW M3 Rims
This performance icon needs wheels that can match its track-ready DNA. M3 models often use staggered setups, with 18" to 20" diameters and 5x120 bolt patterns. Opt for BMW M3 rims designed for high-speed stability, especially forged styles that reduce unsprung weight.
BMW 328i Rims
One of the most popular BMW sedans, the 328i typically requires 17" to 19" wheels with offsets around 34–42mm. OEM options ensure quiet, smooth handling and a perfect fit. Our BMW 328i wheels for sale include both factory and reconditioned styles.

The 335i is known for punchy performance and sleek styling. Recommended wheel sizes range from 17" to 20", with common fitment specs matching 5x120 bolt patterns and offsets between 30–40mm. Our BMW 335i wheels enhance grip without sacrificing comfort.
Caring for Your BMW Wheels
Regular maintenance is key to preserving the appearance and longevity of your BMW wheels.
