Is this an OEM wheel?

Morning, a buddy is looking at an M6 2013 and I can't seem to find this wheel info - it looks like a version similar to my wife's X6 - has anyone seen this before? Certainly no M logo, so perhaps a replica?

Thanks

It is the x6 style but it could either be replica or oem. Can’t tell without looking for the stamp on the back of the wheel.

Agreed. I know that isn't an x6 wheel, the spokes are thicker than that. Looks like a rep to me…

Definently not oem. He would need to buy a new wheel set asap if he bought that car the offset and width is way off. Tires also look like they might be sized for maybe a 3 or 4 series non m car. Makes the car look hideous. Cars worth 2-3k less just because of those wheels.

I agree with this also, thanks again. Definitely some leverage in negotiation

Looks like a 597 to me which is an original X6 wheel as Kamate said.

If they are 20x10 and 20x11 with 40mm and 37mm offsets I'm going to guess they are those OEM wheels.

They are 0.5" wider front and rear which isn't a bad thing but they'll be heavier than stock and will sit 9mm further in at the front and 18mm further in at the rear when compared to stock so you'll be best to fit spacers to improve the look.
