Identify wheels?

Post by Alan W »

See this image to view what I believe are original factory fit wheels on my Z3 2.8 roadster:

Although they are in very good condition, one winter project I am considering is to buy two identical wheels and to refurb a pair at a time... but the problem I have is that I cannot find any identical secondhand ones for sale?

Being a newbie owner can I ask you more experienced zedders whether these are a common wheel?

And if so what could I expect to pay for a secondhand one?

And if they are hard to come by what about the plastic centre covers (the BMW badge is corroding on a couple of these)

Thaks again

We never got those wheels here in the USA. Frank.A what all is "individual" on your Z3?

Alan, that's a great resource, however, it doesn't note which wheels were original factory equipment. It only tells which wheels were manufactured to spec to fit a Z3, including accessory catalog wheels.
