many thanks
 
I recently read that the way to tell a rep, from an OEM, is that it doesn't have 'BMW' written in the gap opposite the badge....which this one doesn't, so I would be sceptical
 
Wheeldoctor is well known (for the wrong reasons from what I've read).

I have never personally dealt with him but apparently he has a well rehearsed sales patter about these being made by BBS (OEM manufacturer) but they don't have the BMW markings due to copyright etc. His listings have been dumbed down a lot recently,probably due to complaints as they used to be a lot more deceptive.

Bottom line is that these are overpriced reps and I would recommend spending your hard earned with a more reputable seller.

cheers chaps - rang him today - he seems to think that they are now not bmw OEM but he gets them directly from BBS which is why they dont have the BMW stamps on .. hey ho .. i think i'll give it a swerve!

cheers

You can get a brand new set for around 1350-1400 so don't get over excited at the high price second hand ones carry. They're only worth it if they include decent tyres.
 
I asked him to confirm the real make over eBay - he only wanted to talk over the phone.....

Avoid

Where sells them for £1400 brand new? I thought they were close to £2k new.
 
I can't find the link and I don't want to be a "search nazi", but there was a thread where a couple of sites selling originals around this price were discussed.
 
I think you are being optimistic with £1400 for new genuine OEM e46 CSL wheels (not the e46 cs set which has 1/2 inch narrower fronts compared with the e46 CSL). CA automotive have them listed online at £1736 a set including vat, worth a phone call and negotiation. I got mine from them a couple of years ago.

Mine were £1740 iirc with 10% discount from Bridgwater BMW, which I thought was a great price, I sold my old set with tyres for £1200 :thumbsup:
