FS: BMW BBS Style 42 Cross Spoke 2 Piece

BMWchubbs · #1 (**permalink**) 01-12-2009, 07:45 PM

I have a set of OEM BMW Style 42 two piece wheels that are manufactured by BBS. They are sizes 17x7.5 and 17x8.5.
They are in decent shape and have minor curbing around outer lip but could be fixed quite easily I would assume. Weigh something like 18lbs each.
Asking $600 OBO or looking to trade for LTW5's or Kosei K1's.

Any takers at $500 OBO?

Just curious, would you be able to ship to Canada? What would shipping be to Newfoundland?

FedEx International Ground shipping to NL Zipcode A1A0A1 would be ~$195 USD

Thank you for the reply
I have just a few more questions:
- Which pictures are more recent (do the rims currently have the red stripe or not)
- Did you paint the wheels black?
- WIll these wheels fit a 1996 e36 convertible?
- Are there any bends in the rims?
- Are they actually OEM wheels off a BMW or just replicas? (what BMW would they have come off?)

The time attack stripe was just pinstriping tape and It is only on 2 wheels still.
Yes the wheels were painted black.
Yes they will fit your 1996 E36 Convertible.
Yes they are OEM manufactored by BBS for BMW. These are the same style wheels that came on the E39 530i Sport's. These are fitted for an E36 and were a dealer option wheel.

Sorry for all the questions, but I am interested in these and want to make sure they're what im looking for.

When you say they were fitted for an e36, do you mean I'll have to use hub centric rings? or do they actually fit my car from the factory.

Also, just wondering if you can address my question about bends in the rims.

No, no need for hubcentric spacers or rings are needed. These did not come stock on the M3, but they were an option, such as heated seats is an option. Do you understand?

There is no bends in the wheels. They are straight and true.

I've been doing some research and I was hoping you could further explain something to me. I know what you mean when you call them an option, the only problem is, I can't find any information for any optional wheels like that that would fit an e36.

They appear to be the style 42 rims, which as far as i can tell were only made for the e39 5 series. Can you provide me with the part number on the wheels so I can look it up? Also, what year m3 would have had these as an option? did you actually buy them from a dealership?

I have heard that the style 42 for e39s would technically fit on an e36, but the hubs are different sizes, so the hub wouldnt be carrying the load, the lugs would = safety concern. (e36 wheels would be impossible to mount to an e39 becuase the hub on the 5s would be too big for the wheel... unless they were bored out and made bigger i suppose)

If you could clarify this it would be greatly appreciated. I have been screwed around with before with online purchases so I just want to make sure its right.

No. These are made for the E36. They are staggered. The E39 wheels were only 17x8 but have a much bigger lip due to the difference in the offset. These wheels were on RealOEM under wheels for the M3.

RealOEM.COM * BMW E36 M3 BMW L-ALLOY WHEEL,CROSS SPOKE COMP.II 42

They are from European Models

But unless you wanna send the money tonight...These are sold, I have a buyer who wants to pick them up tomorrow.
