Those are not M3 wheels.

They are BMW M Split Spoke Wheels..I forget what style number...7 maybe.

Anywho...if they are coming off an e46 they should fit your e36.

[dizzledude]

ok thanks
and just wondering, why would someone label them m3 rims?
im almost got suckered into buying them because although ive never seen them labeled as m3 rims, they were being sold for 300 so i assumed, why not get them
haha
do you know how they would look on an e36?

They are not labeled m3 rims. But they are sport package rims hence the M sticker on the center of the wheels. They look good on the e36. Nondescript a member here had them on his silver e36 m3. I'm sure you could PM him for some pics and 300 bucks is a good deal for those wheels provided they are in good condition.

No, I'm pretty sure those are the 68's... And yes, they should fit

[nondescript]

Type 68 - and yes they are the factory size and offset for e36 m3's... 96-99...



...

Edit: PM sent prior to finding this thread... oh and $300 is a good deal for 4 rims in good shape... If they are in good shape and you back out for some reason; let me know... I'll take them.

Edit 2: Ok; so the history... those are the e46 330i, 330Ci or 328Ci (edited by Admin) sports package wheels... which works for me because a lot of e46 buyers go to 18" or 19" wheels and sell them... Makes for a nice track wheel at the right price.

Yup... Nondescript pretty much covered it all. I remember you said something about wanting some black powder coated rims. I was looking around on ebay and I found some 68 style wheels in a black powder coat. I only found 17's though. Take a look:

Will do Phoenix, thanks again.
What's your name btw, I'd be easier calling you by your real name instead of calling you Phoenix everytime. Haha.
