Exclamation Help - MSW Wheels - What car?

My brother gave me a set of MSW 17" wheels to put on eBay. I don't know anything about them, and he doesn't know much about Bimmers, so I've come to you guys. I'd like to know what cars these will fit and what car they would have come off of. One eBayer asked me if they came off of a 3, 5 or 7 Series and another asked me what the offset is.

Auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8046638913

Re: Help - MSW Wheels - What car?

The key issue i would say, is to find out what year and model BMW they came off of. The fitments between different model BMW's are not the same. This info will help your sale a lot.

I already tried to get that information, but my brother has no idea. So we're kind of screwed on that one.
