M3 Wheels

[TiPerformance]

I just picked up some M3 wheels for my 318ti on ebay, I decided that for $315 plus a 2 hour drive is worth getting these. I could have them shipped for about $75 more, but would rather save the $ for tires.

[TiPerformance]

Am I going to need Spacers as I think the offset on the TI is 35mm and the offset on the M3 is 20mm ???

[robcarync]

so you got a set of four wheels for $315...or 315 per wheel?

that would be a really good deal in my opinion...

[TiPerformance]

whole set for $315

[hotdog19d]

holy schnikes you got a deal!

Are those OEM BMW wheels or replicas?

[TiPerformance]

I was told they were OEM BMW, but how would I tell for sure?

[chepas]

if they are replicas (OER) the M logo would be at level of the rims or does not have them, and if they are originals (OEM) the M would be in a little gap or hole (don't know how to explain it) underneath the center cap or somewhere around it. you'll find it!
and the BMW part # should be somewhere around rim, replicas doesn't have part #'s

[mickd]

If the wheels are replicas and are well made, you still got a great deal.

im going to ebay right now!

[motorsport]

they were probably stolen though...oh well

They are more than likely replicas, because I didn't find a BMW part # or anything on them.

I can gurantee they weren't stolen, the guy I bought them off of took me to his house where I picked them up. He lived in a very nice neighborhood, and sold his car so he didn't need them anymore.

so if they are replicas, you might lose a little of HP and torque, cause they're more heavier. just wanna let you know.

[robcarync]

im not educated about tires and rims...but it seems to me that the extra weight would not drastically reduce HP and torque...and if it did...the good price would likely be worth it to me at least...like i said thouhg, i dont really know...either way they are a REALLLLLLY good deal if you ask me...

[TiPerformance]

Not worried about racing, and if I do race It will be at the track and I can switch back to my stock 15's before I go.

[hotdog19d]

I wouldn't worry about it. I just put some E46 M3 replicas on mine and I can
not feel a difference.
