WTT: My 18" ACS Type 2's for Staggered M-Systems - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

SpecRaceM5 · 6th February 2009, 04:17

I have a set of AC Schnitzer type 2 (one piece) wheels that I would like to trade for a set of staggered M-Systems, preferably with covers (either turbines or throwingstars would work). My wheels are 18x8.5 et 13. Fit e34 without spacers. These do not require hub centric rings. They still have the factory finish in very good shape for their age. I have the original receipt in my files some where from CEC (US Distributor of ACS). Wheels have off brand tires currently mounted with more then 80% tread life. If anyone has a set and is interested, let me know. I'm located in San Diego CA. Prefer locals to make the trade easier. I have pictures I can email upon request.

Here is a picture of the wheels on my car so you can get an idea if you don't already know.

Cheers,

Brian

Hey, mine are non-staggered 17x8's w/ Throwing star covers + 245 45 17 Potenza's that are pretty healthy.

The rims are in very nice shape,no bends whatsoever,just some minor scuffs. The covers are very clean.

I know you're looking for staggered, but I gave up looking for 9's. The E30 guys are buying them all up,but just in case you can live w/ 8's lemme know.

I already have a full set of 8's, sorry. I'm looking for staggered for the M5 so I can throw the 8's on an e30. I've seen at least 3 sets up for sale on mye28.com recently with one potential trade. I thought I would expand the search.

Cheers,

Hi Brian, what tyre size do you use for your ACS typeII 18x8.5 ET13? I just bought the same wheels and am considering size 235/40/18 for front & rear. I like my tyres to sit flush with the fender, do I need spacer? If yes, how thick? TIA.

Yeah, there's been a few sets on MyE28...You might also check with Mel or Michael Abrahams as they have had several sets of these wheels stashed away. (That's where I just picked up a couple of my 9ers from).

Thanks for the info. IIRC my tires are 235/40/18. They are in storage right now but I am almost certain that was the tire size.

Cheers,

Brian

Shame your not UK, I would happily swap mine for them. I love ACS II's.

Thanks. The more and more I look at the pictures of them on my car, the more I want to just keep them. As of now, that seems like it is my only option.
