New OEM BMW rims

i got an offer to buy three 17" OEM rims. the guy let me bring one home and try it out on my car to see if it fits. everything fits well but the thing that sucks is that there is only three. what are the odds that i would be able to find another rim? anybody have one they would like to sell? the guy is selling them for $500 with brand new dunlops (245/40 or 45/17). he said they were off a 323 but had no real idea (friend of a friend i guess).

thanks a lot guys

Dude, seen them on z3's before, you can get them oem!! although the pic could be rep's as I think they may have a little bit of a dish! However I live in the land of eurospec, I wouldn't have thought they would have drop those alloys for the US but you never know!!!

I'll try and find out what they are called!!

Those are legit. They came on the 99 3 series sport package. Its an e46 wheel. Just make sure they same BMW and have a serial number on the inside of the rim. You should be able to get another one from Bav Auto or from BMW direct. But 500 for three oem wheels is way too much. Talk him down to at least 350 400 at most. Because now you have to go through the trouble of locating a 4th wheel and getting a matching tire. 500 isn't worth it.

the rims and tires that ill be buying off the guy have never been on a car and the tires are brand new. i have a friend who is getting me the 4th from bmw for 175 and i have a friend hopefully getting me a 17" dunlop. the whole set will end up costing less then 900 and maybe if im lucky less. 900 for a set of brand new 17's with new dunlops is pretty good i think.

they are the cross spoke 78. but i doubt the one in your picture is a OEM. heres a link to one from the BMW catalogue. http://www.dtmpower.net/ppost2/water.../101557778.jpg

Hmmm....it is actaully a good price seen that it is 500 dollars a rim brand new. Kelly I want to see the rims on your car by next friday the latest!!!
