FS: M-System 1 Wheel Cover Setup

[///schwartzman]

I have 3 extras (2-Left / 1-Right) from a set I bought to complete my wheels... I rate them 8/10, I'd just change the roundels, personally.

Willing to separate to sell as single spares. One cover has a small imperfection around the valve stem hole nothing serious. New from the dealer $305 per wheel and parts have to come from Germany (10 business days)

Each one includes:
Roundel
Center Cap (pop out)
Turbine Cover
Turbine Fan

Individual - $120 + s/h
Package deal- $320 + s/h for all 3



O.B.O. - Trades welcome!

I need one Center Cap (pop out) if you happen to have.

[///schwartzman]

For a fellow S14 member, I could do $100 shipped for the full cap on the one with the blemish... That way you have an extra fan and cover... LMK

Still have the 3 spares... make me an offer.

$100 ea. + s/h

curious how do these work?

[///schwartzman]

Introduced for the e34 M5 the M-System wheels were designed to improve brake cooling efficiency 25-30%... forseeably for DTM and 24-hr. races where heatsoak can be an issue.

How they work is it uses a thin 5-spoke design 17x8/9" wheel then bolt an alloy fin which acts as a fan as the wheels turn suctioning air in through a slotted cover that directs the cool air to the vanes of brake discs... Check this site.

ah so on top of that you need to make sure to have compatible wheels to use these as well?

[///schwartzman]

Oh, yes. I bought spares as my set was missing a cover but it's taking up space so I figure a shop or other members who have a set of M-System wheels without covers may want these.
I'm on a mission for the 17x9" rear wheels now!

These are HISTORY! Thanks
