I need a 18X8 front OEM wheel....
Hi Fellas!

Lost my car while taking a turn during a light rain and brushed one of the wheel against the curve...ouch!!!

Looking for a front wheel, 18X8 OEM. I just got a so called "replica" from Bavarian Auto Recycling but the color is bright silver while mine seems almost slightly anthrocite...a slight darker shade....

Anyone has one for sale??

Thanks

Christopher

Well, to complicate your life.

Why not upgrade to 275s all around on 9.5" rear rims? If you need one replacement you're halfway there.

PLUS, you can take the good front wheel and use it as a spare tire!

More that halfway!

Lots of posts on this- do a search if you think it might be appealing.

You can get new BMW rims (forget replicas unless you generally don't ever exceed the speed limit) at www.bmwwheels.com... last time they were $507 each... bummer, now $557.

They got fronts too!

A

PS Best bet is to shop for a couple of months and collect two rears- they come up for sale once in a while

The local Goodyear tire shop (where I get new shoes for all my car) has a refinished front wheel that has been sitting around there for over a year. I'm fairly sure they'd let it go for a reasonable price.

It probably won't be close match either... but hey, you'll soon have it covered in brake dust, so you might never notice.
