Purpose and fitment for BMW 1 series

The presented rear alloy rim has been developed for the BMW 1 series E81, E82, and E87 generations, maintaining factory mounting parameters. This ensures that the correct rear axle geometry is preserved and the chassis operates according to the manufacturer's specifications. The properly selected rim width and dedicated offset contribute to vehicle stability, predictable handling, and correct interaction with safety systems.

Aluminium construction and performance characteristics

The rim is made of a lightweight aluminium alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to steel solutions. This translates into better suspension response to road irregularities, more precise handling, and a significantly higher level of chassis refinement. The Star Spoke 262 pattern ensures effective load distribution while allowing good ventilation for the brake area, which promotes thermal stability of the discs and pads during intensive use.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim belongs to the Rims category and is intended for installation on the rear axle of the vehicle. The bolt pattern and diameter are adapted to the BMW 1 series standard of this generation, allowing for direct mounting on the hubs without the need for adapters. The number of mounting holes and the pitch circle diameter have been selected to ensure secure wheel seating, even force distribution, and correct compatibility with factory wheel bolts.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing original parts

The offered rim is a used component, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to new parts while maintaining the original BMW specification. Choosing this solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a single rim after mechanical damage or when gradually completing a set of wheels. The original construction ensures proper fitment with the bodywork, predictable vehicle behavior, and a consistent appearance with the other rims on the vehicle.

Configuration expansion and technical knowledge
