These came with the E46 M3 i purchased recently - just like the car they are absolutely immaculate and pristine - not a single mark or scratch anywhere on any of the wheels - they look like they have just come out of the showroom! There is no corrosion or lacquer peel anywhere - come with the original BMW centre caps and M logo's - these are original and genuine OEM E46 M3 alloys and not copys or replicas - they are also the ORIGINAL finish ie. they have NEVER been refurbished.

They are genuine and original BMW OEM 18" M Double-Spoke Chrome Shadow finish.

The wheels come with an almost brand new set of Continental ContiSportContact M3 tyres all round;

Fronts - 225/45/18 ZR "M3" - at least 6mm tread
Rears - 255/40/18 ZR "M3" - 8mm tread

The official offsets for these wheels are:

Front - 18" x 8" offset +47
Rear - 18" x 9" offset +26

The tyres are the OEM "M3" fitment (see pic below) and were all balanced just before i bought the car a month ago and as such have totally even wear all round.

They will also come with a full set of wheel nuts and locking wheel nuts.

Looking for sensible offers!

You might need spacers for the narrower 8 J fronts to accommodate your APs ... better still get yourself 4 X rear 9J, like I did :thumbs:

4 x rears is the way forward. :thumbs:

I believe Nords ran rears on the front with APs.

Yes he did... I saw a pic of his CSL with them ON and got inspired :supz:

Yes they definitely will fit - just ask Baris (xkaliber) with the red M3 as this is exactly what he runs on his and looks stunning - although you may need spacers as suggested.

yes if you have CP5575 AP brakes they will fit under OEM 18 fronts. :thumbs:

i thought that AP redesigned the CP5555 calliper to produce the CP5575 calliper for the express reason that it could fit under the 18 inch OEM front.

Maybe it does need a spacer but Thorney will know :thumbs:

Either way - spacers are an easy fix and there are plenty around 2nd hand for little money.
