As my Z3 passed it's MOT last week I fancy getting some different wheels for it. It's a 2001 Y reg 3.0 so I believe I can't fit M type wheels (unless someone has four front wheels?) and not interested in older OEM types such as the 2.8 alloys.
Ideally I'd like a set with decent tyres that could be put straight on the car. Being realistic, so long as priced accordingly just bare wheels/bald tyres. I'd consider wheels that need a refurb, but I'd be taking them to Lepsons which I think charge about £70 a wheel, so they'd have to be very cheap to make this option worthwhile.
My existing 16" type 55(?) alloys are in pretty good condition, though the rear tyres are down to 3.5 mm (hence why I'm looking now), but mentioned just incase someone wants to go back to standard size and might consider a trade/swop. The fronts have Avons on with over 5mm left.
Just to show what mine are like, this is one that was originally on the FRONT of the car (I swopped them over to have the Avon tyres at the front of the car which seemed to tramline less).
Let me know what you have to offer, with a price and preferably a picture of the actual wheels on offer rather than a generic link.
17" or 18" alloys wanted: NOT NEEDED NOW.

Thanks Z3cade. I have seen some adverts in a few BMW magazines for various wheels, just hoped I might get something in similar condition to my own for a bit less money than new.

I can't see a way to close or archive this thread (as is possible on some other forums I go on), so just to post that I'm no longer looking for alloys at this time: I've decided to upgrade my projector instead so funds are being diverted to that hobby now the dark evenings are upon us. I've got 2000-3000 miles left in the rear tyres before I'll be forced to buy replacements, so plenty of time to have a rethink next spring.
Of course, someone will now come along with a killer deal...
