    WTB/WTT: Style 32 OEM BMW wheels

    Style 32 OEM wheels. Found on late 3.0L Z3 models.



    I need the following:
    7½ x 17 ET41 front x2
    8½ x 17 ET41 rear x2

    Must be in excellent physical and cosmetic condition. Minor scrapes on rim face are ok. Gouges, gashes, curb rash etc isn't.

    Willing to trade my 4 M-Doublespoke II's straight over.

    They are:
    7½ x 17 ET41 front x2
    8½ x 17 ET41 rear x2

    Condition varies. All straight and true. 2 are perfect. 2 have blemishes on the face. Mostly small scratches and whatnot. 1 has some curb rash, minor though.

    Also willing to purchase them outright as well obviously.

    $50 finders fee to anyone who's tip leads me to a set I end up purchasing.

      I test fitted a set Jeremy. 18x8.5 ET40 fits fine in rear. Not so much in the front...

            Then again it does have a 255 R compound on it. It might fit with a 235 or 225, but I have no way of knowing except the hard way.

                CSL wheels would look hot as hell on your car. But I really like the 32's also. Are they the same that come on some 540's?

                  What's the clearance like tire to strut? You need to calculate what offsets will work under that car, we all know 8.5" wheels with 245's will fit up front, you just need the right offset.

                      I know. I mean check much room you got on the strut side, I have a feeling with like ET50 wheels (some OEM wider E46 wheels are this high) you'll be able to jam 8.5" up front.

                        The wheel itself seems to fit fine. Its just the 255 Rcompound on it that is huge and oversize. I really need a bare wheel or one with a reasonable tire on it to test fit.

                          I'm assuming you tried your current rear setup on the front, with no success?

                          Just looked it up, 68M 330i SP rear wheels are 17x8.5", ET50. ZHP rear wheels are 18x8.5", ET50.

                          I won't stop bugging you until you have 245's up front, hope you know that.

                            My current rear wheels fit just fine up front.

                              Um, then why would 18x8.5" ET40 wheels NOT fit? Run 245/35/18's and you're set.
