Interesting fact on the BMW stock 345M style rims.
The front: 19 * 9 is made by BBS and stamped Germany. Entire wheel is clear coated.
The Rear: 19 *10 is made by Cromodora and stamped Italy. Wheel is clear coated ONLY on the rim facing and spokes.
How I found out ? I ordered the above set from my dealer a few weeks ago and they came in this past weekend. When I inspected them, I noticed the above difference and the rear have rough finish in the inner barrel whereas the fronts are totally finished in clear coat and very smooth. I have declined to take the rears and have asked the dealer to re-order me two more fronts to be used for the rears. No signficiant issue will result with the offset.
