Purpose and BMW fitment

The rim was developed as a factory-fitted BMW component, ensuring full compliance with the manufacturer's requirements regarding suspension geometry and drivetrain operation. The carefully selected mounting parameters promote proper wheel seating in the wheel arch, which translates into predictable handling and driving comfort.

The original rim design also facilitates seamless integration with factory safety systems, such as ABS or traction control, as the proper characteristics of the tires and suspension are maintained.

Construction, material, and performance characteristics

The rim belongs to the Rims category and is made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to steel solutions. A lighter wheel promotes better suspension response to road irregularities and improves steering precision, especially at higher speeds.

The Double Spoke 269 design ensures even load distribution and favorable cooling for the brake zone, which is important during more intensive use. The carefully designed spoke geometry influences rim stiffness while maintaining the attractive, sporty look characteristic of the BMW brand.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim features a precisely selected diameter, width, bolt pattern, and offset, which enables proper installation on BMW hubs and maintains the correct wheel position relative to the wheel arch. As a result, there is no need for additional spacers or suspension modifications, provided the vehicle is operated in a configuration close to the factory standard.

The aluminum construction of the rim is optimized for use with tire profiles typical for BMW compact series models, which helps maintain the right balance between comfort and handling precision.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing an OEM rim

The rim is a pre-owned aftermarket component, which is a cost-effective solution for drivers looking for original BMW parts at a reasonable price. Choosing an OEM rim allows you to maintain a consistent look for your car, avoid fitment issues, and keep driving parameters in line with the manufacturer's specifications.

This is a practical option both for replacing a single damaged rim and for completing a set of summer or winter wheels. The aluminum construction also facilitates potential surface restoration processes, such as straightening or refreshing the paint coating.
