good deal?

325 Baller · 02-01-2006, 07:21 PM

I am looking to buy m3 rims but dont want to pay taht much money. I found 17" ones that will fit the Run Flats that came with my car (correct?) but am looking for 18s and i want a wider tire. How does this auction sound? will they fit? is 65% front and 90% rear a good deal?

Chesmu · 02-01-2006, 07:43 PM

325 Baller · 02-01-2006, 07:45 PM

325 Baller · 02-01-2006, 07:46 PM

Chesmu · 02-01-2006, 07:57 PM

rry using the compute thingie above this page. I put in your e-bay numbers and got some results, but I'd wait for someone wih more expertise to chime in.

325 Baller · 02-01-2006, 08:14 PM

no sorry i lied, i just checked it out even further, i have style 156.

325 Baller · 02-02-2006, 10:16 AM

bump. anyone?

Dante · 02-02-2006, 10:21 AM

Then you have 16"! So you need new tires anyway. I would go for 18".

325 Baller · 02-02-2006, 10:26 AM

damn your right, so should i just buy those used ones? and will the 18s fit without spacers or anything?

If they are stock M3 rims with stock M3 tires, then they will fit on your car, but they will throw off your speedo and odometer by 2 to 3 mph.

Bascially, the tires you need on those rims are 225/40/R18 in the front and 255/35/R18 in the rear. Unfortunately, these tires (at least stock) are 225/45/R18 in the front and 255/40/R18 in the rear.

With that said, price wise, I think they are a good deal. Confirm with the seller that the are orginal rims (from factory) and not replicas. That is very important.

Also, they are chrome. Not sure if you want chrome rims or not, but I personally don't. I think that they are too much for a sophisticated car like the E90. If you drive a Caddy, chrome rims are OK, but not for the Ultimate Driving Machine

EDIT: I just re-read the auction and he doesn't have stock tires on them. Find out the offsets and I'll show you how to calculate if they will fit.

Hope this helps...

325 Baller · 02-02-2006, 10:32 AM

wow you are amazing Matt, im in class right now so i cant email the guy but when i get home ill be sure to email him and ask him what the offsets are and them post them here!

325 Baller · 02-03-2006, 07:06 AM

I decided not to buy them from this guy, I emailed him and said "are these original oem or are they replicas and can you tell me the offsets?" here is his response "dont know came off m3"

if he said it came off an m3 then they are oem and should fit e90 perfectly.

325 Baller · 02-03-2006, 02:17 PM
