Hello,

I've just picked up a new set of alloys from Ebay, BMW type 18 (as on http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/) .

Everything suggests they should fit my e39 528i and yet...the bore on the alloy is about 2mm too small to fit on the hub :(

There seems to be a "lip" or on the hub side of the alloy that reduces the opening bore hole by a couple of mm, do you think it could be machined / chiselled off? (see photo)

Or should I just put them back on ebay?

Thanks all

It can be machine. Down,are they 17 inch?

16 inch. NEarly new tyres and virtually unmarked alloys, so I'd like to keep them, preferably. Where could I get them machined? DO you know roughly how expensive it wouldld be?

Looks like a 3series rim !
