Help identifying this wheel please!

Im really hoping someone can help me to identify this wheel..

I was flying like 100+ down this hill, At which time I spotted a cop heading up the hill.
As we became nearly perpendicular, he shined his spot light at me, flipped on his siren, and began slowing down to make a u turn over the center divider (it was a suv explorer cop car and a short regular size curb)

As soon as he turned on his siren I punched it even harder.
Unfortunately I had just finished doing donuts and didn't realize I still had my dsc completely off..

Had I remembered it was off this never would have happened, but the pig distracted me with his bright flashy lights...

Long story short I took a turn at an extremely
high rate of speed and I finally remembered my dsc was off as my car began to slide more than I had been expecting...

So cutting to my issue, I ended up slamming into a center divider curb and my car didn't take that too gracefully.

I cracked my lower tension strut / control arm, and totally cracked a large chunk out the wheel. That's where I need some guidance.

These wheels were on it when I bought the car, and at that time they were powder coated "race orange"
I kinda liked the look, and it was starting to grow on me more and more, but inevitably I made the decision to re-coat them matte black.

Anyway, now the front driver side wheel is cracked and I need to find a replacement.

From what I've been able to find thus far, I believe they are m359 zcp wheels, but idk whether or not they are genuine bmw or replica.

They are way oversize so they definitely arent stock but whether or not they are genuine or avant garde or some other I have no idea.

After having been powder coated (I believe) twice now, I can barely make out what all these markings even say.

Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable can throw me a bone and let me know what brand / offset etc they are.

The tires are michelin pilot sport 4s 265.35.zr19
See pics
Thank you

I actually still was able to evade the cop believe it or not.
I hit the curb, limped to the next intersection, turned and parked.
Cop flew by 5 seconds later

Super lucky

i was litterally just dragging that wheel, the lower control arm was totally cracked in half so the wheel was able to
over-extend and it got locked up by the frame rail

its more complicated than that, but trust me I get it. Not everyone made the smartest decisions in their life. at least not every single decision.
Surely you're not perfect either. No one is.
I would still be in jail today, awaiting a transfer to prison
I'm innocent but that is the reality so I ran and I'm chatting on this forum so obv it worked out for me. sure i fucked shit up on my car but better than throwing away the prime of my life over some bs.
So in that respect I really lucked out and would happily pay $10000++ for things to work out that way again

long story, i strangled my exgf cat...
(joke)

im still shaking my head at how i lost the cop. makes no sense. I think what really saved me was from where he spotted me, it was a good 1/2 mile up hill to the turn where i hit the curb, and only 1/16 mile to the street where i turned after that.
So I guess even after the impact lead time saved me

but what size offset would you say that wheel is. i just learned how to measure it tho so thanks everyone ill figure it out

Okay no need to bash the OP.

He is going through life just like the rest of us.

Regarding to the wheel. Can you check the tire?

It should say something like this. Example: 265/35/18

With that we can get a rough idea of what you need.

Two REP manufactures come to mind:
VMR
AG

yes, the tire is a 265x35x19
the wheels are a replica m359 zcp model

19x9 wheel, but the offsets come 2 different option
et18 and et35

since i cant guarantee the brand of the wheels on my car, im gonna start by replacing both front wheels,
which offset would provide more clearance? / & which are most likely on my car now? are you able to tell from the pic or ?

Hmm contact mod bargains, they are local to you.

That's where I got my rep m359 zcp from

They can probably get you a wheel same day.

GL MAN!

That wheel looks like a VMR VB3/V703. Most likely a 19x9.5 et 22 up front. The 359 wheels are different than what you have. Since the wheel you have is toast, I would take a wire wheel and strip off the powdercoat to see if it has a width and offset stamped on the back.

Wow man that was extremely impressive.
Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for that, seriously

Thank you very much, you are absolutely right!
Cause they actually sell them in rally orange!

Very much appreciated.
