Of course someone can. This is the GRM forum so that's probably a silly question.

17" ...I'm pretty sure. It's on an e36 325is. BMW oem, yes? Anyone know the wheel type? I'm not knowledgeable in the BMW wheel lore.
Edit: I looked all over http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/ and didn't see it...
Look similar to the Momo's I have on my 924 (which are BMW wheels)

Looks close. I think the center where the spokes come together is a little different though.
I know that the 318TI Clubsport had that wheel standard. It would be a BBS wheel. They ran them on other E36 models too.

They kind of look like Racing Dynamics RGQs, but with the centercaps swapped to BMW emblem.

I'm not a Bimmer guy, but I feel like I've seen those as factory wheels on the 318ti
Looks like BMW88rider beat me to it

Those be 16." I know because those are the wheels on the 318ti in my driveway 

^ on my car

v the 17" on the car I saw in someone's yard.

In reply to BlueInGreen44:
A 17" version of that same wheel was available, but it's uncommon. See link:
http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/18

Mille Miglia 1000 wheels. They used to be a real common aftermarket wheel for BMWs.
That could be it then, 17" style 18s. Somehow the wheels on the black car looked different though. The spokes look thinner, not quite as round/chunky, if that makes sense. The effect was as more aggressive look.
These Racing Dynamic RGS look more like it:

Edit: Or what stuart in mn said.
Mille Miglias have a much different spoke pattern. The spokes bulge outwards quite a bit. My Golf came with a set, which I transferred to the Quantum. They'll probably get repainted and live on the GTI because 80s aftermarket wheel.
I simply can not find any images of either car right now. Oddly enough searches for Quantums get my car but only on the OE wheels.
I thought the BMW BBS wheels had the holes small holes opposite the lugs.. like on that Ti
Well most of these suggestions would give me the look I have in my head if I ever want 17" wheels. Thanks for the help!
