I'm planning to buy 4 wheels from a 1995 M3 for $450. No tread left so just basically rims for that price. A little curb rash but in good shape according to the owner. | | | 06-23-2007, 10:38 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I don't believe they are 95 M3 wheels. 95 M3 wheels are double spoke and those wheels are a dime a dozen. I wouldn't pay more than $100 each unless they where in excellent shape. I have 11 of them. Are those wheels pictured M Contours? I think you need to see what others have been paying on bf.c to gauge a fair price. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 06-23-2007, 10:40 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 | That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the heads up. Slight curb rash has got mean a fair amound of wear and tear to the rim in general. Maybe I'll pass. | | | 06-23-2007, 11:39 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Pittsburgh, PA Posts: 1,224 | take a look around ebay. For $450, you might be able to find those rims brand new. | | | 06-24-2007, 05:34 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 | Brand new!?

If those are oem, staggered, and it's just rash, no bends, I'd take them for $450 | | | 06-25-2007, 04:38 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 | Oh man, I already passed on them. Maybe he'll still have them next month when I can spend money from my payday. | | | 06-25-2007, 06:16 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: SW Michigan Posts: 90 | Quote: Originally Posted by Ji Money I'm planning to buy 4 wheels from a 1995 M3 for $450.

Style 23 M-contours were OEM, US spec. E36 M3 after 1995. Presently, they are available new from BMW with a core exchange only at $491 each although dealer / club discounts can be found. Fully reconditioned, new paint and clearcoat, expect to pay up to $300 each. And, these numbers are + shipping. There are knock-offs available for far less, but the genuine BMW style 23 wheel is a high quality piece. | | | 06-25-2007, 07:05 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Pittsburgh, PA Posts: 1,224 | Sorry dude. I saw this online. . http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/354842757.html the guy said he'd ship to NJ if paid up front. Probably not worth it if you can get in with your guy again. | | | 06-25-2007, 11:58 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 | I think it's better that it worked out this way. My credit card bill for the 318ti just got here today. I still owe about $6,000 for it. My brother's wedding is in August too and I want to give him a $1,000. Thanks for all the advice though. I'm sure another deal will come up. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
