Im keen on buying rims for my 318i.

what brand are u looking for?

[MihaiLo]

bmw rims.

so i take it u can go anywhere and they'll order some in for you?

[TMQ]

if you want original BMW rims you go to BMW otherwise if you want an M rim like mine you can buy replicas from most Tyre places.

BTW i have replicas

[Sephanite]

also, depending on the brand you want, there are different people to contact

try the tyre factory in thomastown hes pretty reasonable in prices

[Lee1719]

how much did you pay for the replicas from bob jane?

Mihalo, you have 3 choises when getting rims.

1. OEM BMW from dealer, new or second hand as people trade up to larger rims. Can be cost effective.

2. Brand name rims, BBS, OZ Racing, Enkei, expensive but ebay can be your friend especialy out of Germany, can be a bit of a bugger with language and shipping.

3. No brand replicas, cheap comparing to the other 2 choises but generaly poorer quality and heavier and can get out of round in a short time.

Hope this helps.

I've been hunting rims to fit my e30 for a few weeks now, and all the 'bob janes' and 'tyre factorys' of the world seem to struggle with the correct offset. Plenty of wheels with the 4x100 stud pattern, but they will only fit with spacers.

Has anyone has success with the places mentioned above? Finding wheels to fit without stupid (and illegal) (and insurance voiding) spacers?

I'm keen to put a nice set of 16's on mine, but I am limited to ONE style of wheel (available from a wheel joint specialising in BMW in Melbourne) that I don't like.
