Ooooooo V Nice!!!

[Tyler]

Those are very nice.

There is a chinese company advertising over the internet that sells knockoffs
of just about any wheel.

They look nice but are simple cast NOT pressure cast so they have issues
with cracking at the track. Make sure they are genuine wheels....

[stormos]

you've just put me off ebay for life! heh.....

[Nixman]

So if we don't plan on running them on the track, is there a problem with them? I just want to put a set on my daily.

[stormos]

just buy them from a reputable dealer basically is what i consider to be the best option....

[Nixman]

well I can understand that, I want to buy from someone that is reputable. Ebay is a good site and this seller has a ton of feedback with only 2 bad ones. I guess I will just look into it more. Why pay more if you can pay $100 per wheel plus shipping instead of $185 per wheel plus shipping

[pdxmotorhead]

They are fine on the street if you check them at the hub for cracking when you
change the oil. Usually they have even beeen fine at the track till some one hits
fia curb too solid or things like that.

I only mentioned it because a couple of the knock offs have been a problem
on light weight designs (Thin spokes....) Especially their Panasport-ish wheel.

would these rims fit on my 96 ti?

[Tyler]

would these rims fit on my 96 ti?

If you read the ad it says

Bmw
318TI 96-99
Z3 Roadster 96 +
318,325,328 (E36) 92-98
323,328,330 (e46) 99+
M3 (E36) 95+
X-5 series (E-53)

So i would assume yes.

[GDB]

Yes they will fit. I've been running ADRs for about 6 months now and have had no problems with them. I don't run them on the track because they are heavier than my stock 15s but they are great wheels.
