WTB: Track Rims for a 95 E36 M3 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

IRISH M5 · 31st October 2008, 02:08

Looking for 17x8 or 17x8.5 rims. Would consider 2 BBS RX (ET38) as I already have several or 4 Kosei's or similar.

Non staggered setup required.

Sergio, the car is awesome. Had it at Mid Ohio again last weekend.

Forgeline are made here in Dayton! Toured the factory a few months ago. Very impressive. Let me check out their sale.

How's the new M3?

Richard...

Have you considered

* BBS CH (I'm running these on my E36 M3), 8,5*17 ET 38
* Compomotive MO5 8*17, custom offsets possible (I'm running these too on my E36 M3)
* OZ Ultraleggera

All of these wheels are very strong, and have a lot of space for big brakes. Calliper clearance is a problem on most OEM wheels for the E36 M3.

Frits, I will consider any quality fitments that are readily available as I would like 6 wheels to rotate and ensure even tire wear.

I bought 6 BBS wheels too, for the same reason, and to make sure I always have a spare wheel/tyre. And I should've bought 6 Compomotives too, but I didn't.

I use the BBS wheels with PS2s (235/40/17) for rainy days, and the Compomotives with Pilot Sport Cups (225/45/17) for the dry days.

I have BBS CH wheels now on my E92 and they are GREAT!!...I have BBS RGR's on my e36 18x8.5 on all corners and they are also very very good...I think my CH's are a bit lighter.
BUT BEST of all were my OZ F1 Cup wheels...they were 17x8 on all corners...magnesium and I brought them back from Italy...they were not offered here back in 96....Rich..go with OZ...if not Forgeline...they make a great wheel...strong..light...a bit pricy but they will last...you will get tired of them before they fail you...and I was running a Brembo BBK front and rear no issues.
