Wheel construction characteristics

This BMW alloy wheel is crafted from a lightweight alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass and improves suspension response to road irregularities. The Sports Spoke Styling 13 design ensures good rim rigidity and favorable stress distribution during dynamic driving. The silver finish creates a cohesive, classic look characteristic of BMW E36 models, blending well with both light and dark body paint colors.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The wheel was designed specifically for BMW suspension geometry, facilitating the correct wheel position in the wheel arch and proper steering system operation. The bolt pattern, number of mounting holes, center bore, and offset comply with the standards used for this model, ensuring the rim works seamlessly with factory hubs and brake components. The aluminum construction facilitates precise wheel balancing, which is important at higher speeds and in daily use.

Practical application and benefits of choosing an alloy wheel

The BMW E36 wheel in this design works well both as a replacement part after damage to one of the rims and as a base for completing a full set of wheels. The aluminum material facilitates potential refurbishment processes, such as straightening, sandblasting, or repainting, allowing the rim's appearance to be tailored to the car's individual visual concept. A used OEM component is a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the factory driving parameters and styling characteristic of BMW.
