Can anyone tell me if these wheels are genuine or not?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 61902&rd=1

I am looking for some original BMW wheels for my 325 based kit car and these might do the job. I am loath to buy any of the aftermarket wheels because of all the stories of bad quality (monkey metal etc.).

Thanks
Robin

As Johnono said, these wheels were made for the E36 M3, and were only made as 5 stud, 4 stud will be replicas.

the genuine motorsports wheels were 5 stud and had BMW cast into the face, opposite(sp?) the 'MOTORSPORT' logo.
