Fair price for used m3 wheels?

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 01:17 PM

I have found a set of 4 OEM M3 18 inch wheels with 2 snows in good and 2 snows in poor condition. NO TPMS. He wants 450. Is this fair?

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 01:22 PM

Seller says no curb rash or bent wheels. I don't know what style they are (number wise) but they are identical 18 inch versions of my 19inch wheels. Wanted the 18sfor snows

passing · 01-21-2013, 01:31 PM

pics? there are no 18 m3 wheels to my knowledge that replicate another wheel.

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 01:42 PM

It's not a replica. They are the actual stock m3 18 inch wheels

signes · 01-21-2013, 02:02 PM

If they're actually OEM then that is a great deal. There are no OEM wheels that are identical to either OEM 19s. See below:

OEM 18 Style 219 (gunmetal finish sold through 2010 model year):

OEM 19 Style 220

OEM Style 359

signes · 01-21-2013, 02:03 PM

BTW, where did you find them?

DB · 01-21-2013, 02:22 PM

Sounds like a great deal to me for good condition OEM wheels. I paid more for a used set.

brijmode · 01-21-2013, 02:57 PM

That's a great deal! My friend at work just picked up a set of 219's for $800 with no tires, only TPMS.

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 03:37 PM

Ok they look exactly like the OEM style 220 19s but are 18s. Is that possible?!?

Craigslist. I was going to pick them up today

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 04:00 PM

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 04:01 PM

It looks like the M decal is missing from the photo.

Georgeair · 01-21-2013, 04:01 PM

It's Craigslist - the seller may not know the difference in 18 and 19. Your picture isn't showing, but can you see the size of the tire mounted?

It's either a 19" or a rep. I'm gonna guess.

I am 95% sure OEM 19 doesn't have the holes in channel between each bolt hole like the one you have linked in ad does.

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 04:06 PM

It's definitely 18. How can I tell if its a replica or actual OEM?

Georgeair · 01-21-2013, 04:26 PM

As others have said above, not widely known to be OEM wheels in 18" but styled like 19s. That whole lip shape is different than the 19's I think but who knows. Someone may happen along with info on this possible dodo bird of wheels.

No.

Ask to see a picture of the backside of the hub.

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 04:56 PM

Thanks. Ill ask for a photo. What should I look for on the back side of the hub to ensure they are authentic? If they are replicas is it no longer a good deal?

IMO $450 for replicas is a good deal, $450 for OEM is thievery

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 05:26 PM

Thanks. The only thing that Bums me out is that there is no TPMS included and that's like 200 onto the price.

Check the Classifieds sections, someone maybe selling a set for less. You're already getting a great deal on a set of wheels, $650 for that set would still be good.

slicer · 01-21-2013, 09:33 PM

If they are 18" and they look like that, then they are reps and I wouldn't buy them for any price. Not worth the hassle IMO. Go for it if you want to spend your time dealing with easily bent, hard to balance, cheap reps.

mscdman · 01-21-2013, 11:25 PM

Are replicas really that bad and cheap? Bear in mind this is only for winter wheels. That being said, I don't want to put shitty quality wheels on my car. Anyone have good experience with replicas?

mscdman · 01-22-2013, 12:37 AM

Also can anyone tell me the stock OEM offsets for the front and rears on a 2009 m3 coupe
