Selling these are need the space in the garage. Collection from Ely, Cambs but I'm willing to drive ~1hour to meet and work in Peterborough for anyone in the midlands I can come a bit closer to you. Will go on ebay if no imediate interest.

In need of a refurb, the insides are totally shot. The outsides I rattle-canned last winter and they look ok from a distance!
2x front tyres (Dunlop SP9000) have plenty of tread. 2x Rear tyres right on the legal limt.

These would make ideal track wheels (Style 32's are one of the lightest OEM wheels I believe) or usefull if like me you need something temporary. Fully refurbed they look great (and quite rare) on a zed IMO.






 
I had been looking at the style 32's on eBay. Are there two versions as some look like they have a bigger dished look?

5 or 6 different set ups including 17s & many sets of replicas although these look OEM & by the look of the pics the correct offsets off E46 3 series .
The deeper dish ones are 7 series fitment & won't work on a Z
Great wheel & as mentioned very lightweight by comparison to other factory wheels
Eve, lighter than the genuine CSL wheel i believe :o
They come up great with a refurb :thumbsup:

Yep these are genuine BMW wheels (you can just about make out the stamps around the centres - poor pics I know). Please note I don't have the centre caps.

They came from an E46 and so direct fitment for a Z4. As pictured in the last image, they work really well when spaced out +10mm and +20mm, it seems to really bring out the dish on the rear.

I had 108's before these and now have 19" tigerclaws, the car drove by far the best on these.

They're really nice OEM wheels - I was after a set before I got my 216s. Although I'm not sure where the lightness thing comes from? They're about the same as other 18" OEM wheels (224, 216 etc) according to the wiki -
http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/32

If you've ever handled them without tyres you will know straight away :wink: they are noticeably lighter , i weighed a set of 18s i had & there was a big difference compared with style 108,s or 224s
Approx 20%/25% lighter iirc :?
Also think "PaulGS1000" has weighed his set so he may have the actual numbers :thumbsup:
 
You may be right - I have been suspicious of some of the weight information on that website for a while as many wheels seem to be coincidentally the same weights (11.23kg for a 8J 18" wheel seems very consistent).

Is there a better source of OEM wheel info? (Sorry for the thread hijack Bony! Just keeping your ad at the top of the forum!)
 
mr wilks is right - I weighed my original wheels and style 32s

Originals REARS 53lbs each (average) and style 32s at 46.5lbs (average)
Original FRONTS 48.3lbs each (average) and style 32s at 41.3lbs(average)

Total weight saving 27.25 lbs Tyres were
worn GoodYear Eagle F2s on the original wheels Worn mixed winter tyres ///M sizes on style 32s.

I'm about to have Eagle 2s fitted to the style 32s soon and will weigh again to check if the tyres made much difference.

As mr wilks says - just picking up the wheels you can feel the difference in weight
 
I had a set of 32's from Mr Wilks in black. Yet to have the fitted (winter wheels) but confirm they're light enough to feel the difference between my ellipsoids. Hurry up winter... ;)

Yep noticeably lighter than the 108's and MV1's I have used in the past.

Going on ebay tonight

Doubt you will struggle to get your £200 , the 1 series boys are particularly fond of these & if mrs w's 1er was staying id have taken them off you for hers
Best of luck :thumbsup:
