These will fit a BMW E36 M3. Not sure what else.
I purchased these through Bimmerforum member, who posted for a non-member, this past July.
2@ 17 x 8 with 1-1\2" rims, measured approx. ET33-34
2@ 17 x 9 with 2" rims, measured approx. ET34-35
Wheels really needed to be cleaned up when I got them...seller's pics were less than current as it turned out, but I had always wanted a set, and also wanted to do a 3-piece wheel refurbishment as part of my restoration work on my 1998 M3.
I originally planned to mount these on my car, but based on the measurements I've recently taken of the wheels and current clearances, concluded that I don't want to deal with what now looks like the likelihood of having to roll the rear fenders - I planned to keep the OE tire sizes, but dropped the OE suspension something over a half-inch when I added Eibach ProKit springs \ Koni Yellow Sport shocks, and the OE wheels and tires are already a close fit at the rear - fronts won't be an issue. So, if I can get my price I will sell...if I cannot, then I guess I will learn how to roll rear fenders.
After complete dis-assembly and cleaning, here's what I did:
Polished the rims..couple of hours each, using increasing grits of 3M paper & discs.
Had the faces professionally stripped, powder-coated \ clear-coated - MUCH better than painting,
Stripped & zinc-coated original ACS 10-point nuts,
Cleaned & polished original ACS 10-point bolts,
Painted (black) & clear coated insides of barrels (they are original ACS barrels...still have stickers from early 1990s)
Re-sealed wheel halves with Dow 832 sealant,
Added aluminum billet ACS logo wheel centers purchased from Paul Ehrlich in Mocksville NC.
The wheels are gorgeous now, as I hope the pictures show...not perfect, but damn near...straight and true with no bends, cracks, welds, or curb rash.
Lots of pictures posted in my album on Bimmerforum...here's the link:
Asking $2,500. OBO.
