Will these wheels fit a 98 E36 M3?? Chrome BBS RSII Wheels/Rims:eBay Motors (item 320416407377 end time Aug-30-09 12:10:56 PDT) $675.00 for some nice BBS is a great price! I'm not in the market for wheels but the price seemed to go to be true. Thanks in advance!

Really not trying to be a d!ck but first off they are now chrome. Second of all often times if it is to go to be true it is. I'm not a wheel expert but I have a few friends that are and I've heard horror stories about buying used wheels. I'm not saying you can't do it, I've done it, its smart move. But you gotta be careful of people you don't know selling items for really cheap. One of my friends who is a complete wheel snob won't buy wheels unless they some sort of paper work showing that they're straight and true. The name for this escapes me now but the point is, to me those wheels scream bad news, but who knows they could be a great deal. I personally, wouldn't take the risk.

Thanks guys, Like I said I'm not in the market for wheels but it looked like a great price. If I did but them they would not stay chrome, I would more than likely get them refinished in Gunmetal or Flat black. Just wanted to see if they would fit. Thanks again!

they will not fit, and are totally obnoxious.

they belong on some old E34 with the inner city package

Thanks Ben, like I said I wasn't really looking for new wheels but they seemed like a good price. I'll pass! "Inner city package"

i hear ya... changing things up is always good but i'm a fitment nazi... and dislike chrome on sports cars.

when anyone asks me what wheels they should get i'll always blurt out LTWs... so i'll do the same here.
