I just saw this post on my Facebook feed- This has shown me- most of these oem factory wheels are interchangeable if you have the vision, time and energy to put in.

Wow!

Unless you are total fan of this particular rim style, I feel like this is just unnecessary hack job. Everything is possible for sure, but my question is always why?

I understand your view- my thing is why not- these were literally change of tires and then plug and play from what the seller said.

thats all BMWs before the G-generation. Ive mixed and matched wheels from other BMWs for as long as i can remember. No longer possible though since BMW switched to 5x112 like Audi and Mercedes.

Might look cool, but why would you want a heavy wheel, designed for a heavy vehicle, on a lighter vehicle.
If you ever have the chance to play around with forged wheels vs factory wheels on the same vehicle, you will notice the difference in example acceleration is quite noticeable.
Unsprung weight affects things more than most realize.
