The BMW Style 50 wheels are a classic OEM design often associated with subtle elegance and strong factory fitment across multiple BMW series. They were offered by BMW as original equipment on a range of vehicles, primarily during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

While Style 50 wheels were not factory-fit on later generations (like E90/F30 or beyond), they are often still considered for fitment on those vehicles due to shared bolt pattern and similar suspension geometry — provided the following are checked:
-
Bolt pattern (PCD): 5×120
-
Center bore: matches BMW specification
-
Offset (ET): suitable for the target chassis
Always verify wheel specs against your vehicle before installation.
