BMW 2002
The BMW 2002 came from the factory with 13-inch steel wheels across most of its production run from 1966-1977. Early models typically ran 13x4.5 steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps, while later models got slightly wider 13x5 steelies. All 2002s used BMW's 4x100mm bolt pattern, which became a standard that BMW stuck with for decades. Factory offset was typically around +30mm to +35mm, giving these cars their characteristic tucked-in wheel look.
For VTO Wheels compatibility, the 4x100mm bolt pattern means you've got excellent options from our catalog. Our 13x5.5, 13x6, and 13x7 sizes are perfect period-correct upgrades that maintain the car's vintage proportions. If you want to go bigger, our 14x5.5, 14x6, or even 15x6 and 15x6.5 wheels will give your 2002 a more aggressive stance while still looking tasteful. Our offset range of -7mm to +38mm gives you flexibility to dial in the perfect fitment.
The 2002 is the car that put BMW on the map in America and basically created the sport sedan category. These little rear-drive rockets were the perfect blend of European handling and practicality, making them instant classics among driving enthusiasts. Today, clean 2002s are highly sought after, and the right set of period-appropriate aluminum wheels can really make one stand out at any vintage BMW gathering.
