BMW 1800
The BMW 1800 came factory-equipped with 13-inch steel wheels, typically measuring 13x4.5 or 13x5 inches wide depending on the model year and market. These featured BMW's 4x100mm bolt pattern, which became a long-standing standard for the brand's smaller cars. The factory wheels used a positive offset around +35mm to +40mm, and most came with simple steel construction topped with chrome hubcaps or basic trim rings.
For VTO Wheels compatibility, the 1800's 4x100mm bolt pattern matches perfectly with our vintage aluminum offerings in that same pattern. Popular upgrades include our 13x5.5", 13x6", and 13x7" sizes for that period-correct look, or step up to 14x5.5" and 14x6" for a subtle modern touch while maintaining the car's classic proportions. Our offset range of -7mm to +38mm gives you plenty of flexibility to dial in the perfect stance.
The 1800 was BMW's breakthrough into the compact luxury sedan market, paving the way for the legendary 2002 series that followed. These cars are increasingly popular with vintage BMW enthusiasts who appreciate their clean lines and solid build quality, making them perfect candidates for a tasteful wheel upgrade that respects their understated German elegance.

| What VTO Wheels sizes fit the BMW 1800? | For stock replacement, our 13x5.5" and 13x6" wheels work perfectly.

| Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my BMW 1800? | Most likely yes. BMW 1800s typically have a center bore around 57.1mm, while VTO Wheels are manufactured with a larger universal center bore.

For a more aggressive stance, you can go as low as +15mm to +20mm, but may need to consider fender clearance depending on tire size. |
