Default My guess is they are cosmetic, ejector pins wouldn't leave a through hole.....
nor would the hole be radiussed on the wheel face, just a guess though.

My BBS RGR wheels had them. They could also be stress relief.

Default Common on factory BMW wheels.
They use the holes during installation at the factory. I think a lot of BMW aftermarket companies emulate the holes just for some consistency in look.

Default Re: random Q - what's the deal with the small holes in between the lugs?
It does save some weight, but it is mainly just part of the design of the wheel

thanks.
