I recently bought some 5 series (for an F10/F11 model) from eBay that were 16 inch but a decent offset of 33.

They won’t be to everyone’s taste as the design shows the holes in the steels are oval shaped. I was after a custom slot-mag sort of style rather than Dunlop’s.

If you have a Faceballs account here is my post

They were 6.5J 16 ET33 and I bought them from Poland. Cost £115 for four including postage.

I have since had them banded by a chap in Essex by 1inch front and 2 inch back.

So now I have (if my maths is right) of course as the banding is attached to the ou side of the wheel the width changes but the backspace doesn’t, hence I have

7.5J 16 ET 21 fronts
8.5J 16 ET 8 rears

I plan putting on 225/50 16 fronts and 245/45 16 rears this week and then mine are going on a Kobra soon. Will share pics when I have them.
