    i saw what you're talking about. the lip is def. a little fatter on the 3rd one, but the 3rd pic is legit. unless someone spent hours and hours and hours ps'ing it. i assume they're either another set of wheels or maybe another set of barrels?

    this is really just arguing for the sake of arguing though lol.

    I know more about those wheels than any human should. It's available in 12 different sizes and offsets.

    The first pic is the stock BMW Style 5 e39 5-series sport wheels which is a BBS RC090 17x8 ET20, it's a non-staggered fitment with a lip that's barely 2" deep. I owned the widest deepest offset version of that wheel, it was never available in the US and they were a $8,500 USD option for the Euro 850csi. It was a 17x9" wheel and the rear lip was about 3.5" deep with a 19 offset.

    Nobody makes a barrel like that for that center. It's a 2-piece wheel, not a 3-piece. How do I know it's a photoshop? The distance from the edge of the wheel to the edge of the fender is no different between the pics yet the lip is 3X deeper. Unless they pulled out the IRS from the e39 and put in a narrowed Ford Pinto rear axle then it's a photoshop.
