No need mate , i have a single original one in my garage awaiting its own refurb 8) Start of my single wheel collection
Once refurbed & tyred up they will make a great winter wheelset at very reasonable money 8)
"MOTORSPORT" logo on the wheel face really sets them off IMO

Do you refurb them yourself of know a friendly pro?

I want to get my 19's done over winter this yr!

Were these my wheels Andy?

No they were a set of 17,s Richard , "OlI t" is now the owner of the ones above , yours were 18,s & not as badly tarnished

They're reps. Originals have 'BMW Motorsport' on the face.

They were standard fit on the 3.0l E36 M3.

Not all OEM 24,s were stamped on the face with " Motorsport"
To the best of my knowledge this is a genuine item with usual BMW numbers & stamps on the rear

Wont they leak/bleed air after that much corrosion?

Believe it or not they look worse than they are , ,its mostly tarnished metal & lacquer .
Underneath they probably would polish up with the right tools,liquids & time .
Will post pics thursday when collected :wink: should look mint

Look forward to it, they look nice n chunky.

Granted, but It was either BMW Motorsport or nothing as it shows in the pic.

The other clues for genuine wheels of this vintage is the small indent for the M badge underneath the centre cap as well as having the polished face which M wheels tended to have.
