YEAH !!!! that's it brilliant many thanks !

Just a bit concerned this Z lark is all new to me so a steep learning curve with regard to wheels really struggling as I know absolutely F**K all about wheels tyres engines I am afraid a "Key at one end and a Fuel at the other end" type of guy so its garage for everything !

My worry is I buy some 2nd hand wheels with naivety which are bolloxed hence why I had considered Brand New MV2 replicas ? now these M Sport (e46) wheels have come up at only £250 ? and on here you guys don't seem to like the replicas ?

Arghhhhh its like a mine field....

Any help from anyone would be great - what to look for on 2nd hand wheels etc

Badger, it's not that replicas are bad but why put them on if you can afford the originals? (Think CSL originals which cost over a grand against the reps which cost half that). 250 for a full set of MV2s is actually a very good deal as if bought singularly it would set you back twice that.

Question is, are they in good condition (no scuff marks,kerbing, cracks, welding, lacquer peeling). I if they all are, fantastic and even if they're not absolutely mint you can still have them refurbished at approx £55 per wheel which would still serve you better than replicas.

If you decide to sell your car or the wheels at a later date, genuine would always be a bonus above reps. Gregg
