The pictured car is a '67 Fiat Dino (half Ferrari, half Fiat), and those are its factory wheels.  They have knockoff centers.  Now we know where BMW got the design for the roundie alloys, which were made by ATS in Italy...

Good illustration of BMW’s “inspiration source,” Mike!

 

This emphasizes why many people mistake BMW’s FPS early OEM alloys for Cromodoras and Campagnolos, and mistake the aluminum alloy FPS rims for magnesium alloy…

 

Best regards,
