BMW 540 rims?
My advise is to be careful of the BMW offsets. Seems like every model has a different offset and some models have multiple offsets for the staggered look with deep dish in back. I've been shopping for some BMW wheels for a while and have talked to many ppl bout them. Basically you cant run the staggered offset wheels b/c they will stick out of the fender well and sling stuff all over the side of your car. Some offsets will hit the brake calipers and some the tires rub on inner fender well.
I was told that the offset that works best on 4th gen F-bods are the 40-50 mm offsets, and if you want the deeper dish wheels you have to go with at least a +40-+50 offset. Most 540 models have a 20mm offset, which do not work well. The stock M3's have a 35mm and M5's have a 48mm in 18's.

I have a set of 17x9 BMW 3 series rims I got in Germany. The offset if great. I had a set of 5 series in the same size and style, but they stuck out about an inch too far. What I have now are just standard 3 series rims. In Europe the use ET rating instead of offset. I could find out what the ET on them are.
Do you realy want to put BMW rims on a Camaro? I wouldn't because it's kind of tacky, even ricerish. There are hundreds of aftermarket rims out there, so I would advise you to spend a few more dollars and do it right.
KillerTA,
I don't think beemer wheels would look good on a TA, because of the more muscle look, but the rims I have make the car look super sporty. My car doesn't look ricerish at all.
LOOK AT THESE WHEELS.

What offset/size are those rims?
The ones I have now are 45mm, but they are 8inches wide. I put my friend's m5 wheels he had on the back on mine. They were 18x9.5 and flushed perfectly on my car. Going to order some this week. I took pics of how it looked so I will post this week. I've been looking for awhile to get wider rears, but every time I speak to a salesman over the phone they tell me the ones that fit the beemer will stick out on me...Well I made them liars and I am glad.
