staggered offsets?
white centers?
yes - staggered offsets, if you look at the title it says staggered ... and if you look at the pix, one shows et 11 and the other et 24.
no Stan, they aren't white centers, they are the standard BBS aluminum color. i think its just a reflection of the daylight. nobody said that Kristian was a great photographer.

I have a set of these, stronger and lighter than cast Alpina/Ronals (but I prefer the Alpinas..) If original paint on the centers, they are similar but not quite Polaris. Here is an old photo of wheels on my Polaris - color is almost a match.
Hope that is helpful, GLWS.

I have two RS0021 wheels, 8x16 et11. Will these wheels fit a coupe or is the offset too much? (not enough? However you want to look at it).

The front wheels will rub probably. Offset is correct but 7" width is preferred

Hi Dan,
from a quick mental calculation, I think dtortoise9 is correct. With the 7' et11 on my car, the outside comes close or contacts depending on the tires. From what I recall, the clearance to the strut is pretty close, so the added width of an 8" may make the inner clearance real tight.

Fronts that are 16 x 7 et11 will sometimes rub against the fenders unless the lips are rolled. I am pretty sure 16 x 8s will damage either the fender or tire or both. New lips are available for the outside to make the width smaller but may not be cost effective. Tire size can also be a problem.

will they fit an E28?
good question ... i don't know the offsets for an e28. they should, but i don't really know.

Typical offset for the E28 is 20 though the 16" ET23 offsets of the E38 series work just fine also.
my logic might be all wacko, but isn't the question is more related to the width of the rim ... than just to the offset. if an 8" wide rim with a et20 or et24 is correct on an e28 w/ a 16" wheel. and if you wanted to leave the outer edge of the tire / wheel in the same location (to keep the steering geometry the same), then by subtracting 1/2" from each side (to get you to a 7" wide rim) ... wouldn't the correct offset dimension be approx. 12mm less. say et8 to et12?
when you think about it, our stock 14" wheels are the same size and same offset - front and rear. the offset only changes when you get a wider wheel ... so it doesn't either hit the strut or the fender.

ABSOLUTELY - Yes. This is the correct use of the word 'hate' ;-) "unique taste" is another

Is there a specific direction of rotation on those?
