What are these alloys worth? Staggered M Double spoke OEM

I have these wheels which I will be selling soon but not sure what they are worth.

I believe they are from a E36 M3 Evo and are called M Double spokes and possibly forged, they are also staggered.

They carry the BMW stamp on the back so think they are OE the fronts are 225/45/17 and rears 245/40/17

Tyres are all Firestone Fire Hawks well worn but still very legal.

Not bucked or cracked all hold air fine.

Bar one of the rears are in near perfect condition

Heres a few pics......................

The non-standard paint will put some off, but the tyres all being the correct size with a bit of tread will help.

I'd suggest somewhere around £250 would be fair to start with.

They're definitely the evo version, and even though don't carry the bmw Motorsport script on the front are still often referred to as 'motorsports' in bmw talk they're style 24 ( from memory, check before advertising them as that! )

Thanks Harry gives me something to work with.

I did do a completed item search on eBay and prices were anything from sub £100 all the way to £400+ and was a bit hard to identify from all the replicas, staggered/non staggered, Motorsport stamp etc etc etc

I take it you can tell they are evo wheels due to the lack of "BMW" & "Motorsport" stamped on the face? I actually favour that, the Motorsport ones remind me too much of a Ford Serria sun strip haha

Yeah, the 3.0 m3 ones have bmw motorsport on them, the evo ones have the recess for the little m badge between two bolt holes.

Replicas usually either just say "motorsport" or have no writing and no badge indent, and won't have the bmw stamp or part numbers on them. I think most reps are 7.5in and a slightly different offset to genuine ones.

There are some proper moody reps about too which are the same style but the gap between the spokes is a solid web!
