It's an E88.

Before someone says "it looks different"... There are a few versions of E88's where the lug drilling and center caps are slightly different based on the PCD. Also, this one is a specially machined reverse mounted center. Regular E88's cant be reverse mounted like an LM. Lastly, on the backside of the center, near the outside perimeter you'll find a series of numbers. The shorter number is a serial number. The longer number is the part number for the center. You can email BBS-USA that part number and also the size of the lip and barrel and they'll be able to tell you the offset.

I don't think they're E88s. E88s have scalloped spokes, these look older. They also do not look like E28s which predate the E88. Rudy has a set that look identical. According to the thread they are BBS RSM

You know, I was trying to tell if they were scalloped or not and the spokes in the 5 o'clock position looked like they were. Perhaps it's just the light.

If they aren't then I take back my comments on E88's (looked like a BMW application).
