Anyone know this wheel!
Picked up a set of wheels for 400 bucks the guy I purchased them from got them from another guy, basically nobody has a idea which brand they are. There no markings inside the wheel only offset. There a one piece rim, anyone can identify this wheel?

Why not post on the BMW forum? Better chances of getting answers. Then again, I forget that many LS owners used to own BMWs

If they were factory BMW wheels, I'd say with 99% certainty they'd have a BMW logo and part number or casting number. Likewise if they were made by BBS, that would be indicated. Pretty likely the same if they were made by any major OE or aftermarket wheel supplier.
But you say, other than the offset (and I assume the size), there's not a single emblem, number or letter printed, stamped or cast anywhere on the back of the hub, the back of the spokes, between the spokes, or on the surface covered by the tire when installed?!?!?! Unless markings were machined off the back of the hub while adjusting the offset, to me that screams a cheap copy that was not even certified to meet DOT, TUV or JWL safety requirements. If that's the case, save yourself the hassle and post them for sale on Craigslist, pronto.
Give them another thorough exam, post pics of anything you find, and maybe I'll change my mind....

These look like Bayern wheels. The second one I don't know.
