What do you reckon these wheels are worth??

Would fit E30 M3 or E34 etc...

8x17 fronts 10x17 rears.. almost new tyres, costing Ԛ£350-Ԛ£400.. Wheels are good, but could do with a polish on the rim, and perhaps repainting / refurbing..

BTW I haven't cleaned them, there covered in dust, which makes them look worse than they are!

if they are genuine then a good few pennies Ԛ£350is my guess. If not then knock a 100 bar off?

Possibly... would like to keep them, in case I get another car that they fit, but taking up room, and in the way!!!

Well I've looked, they have MBN on them, and they are ET17 offset.

I've never heard of MBN, has anybody???

So not genuine schnitzer, but still nice wheels IMO!

Not heard of MBN, but having that cast into them doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't schnitzers as they'd almost certainly have subbed out the manufacture of their wheels etc.

My MSW wheels (the bent ones) have O.Z. cast into the back of the spokes!

Of course it doesn't mean they are schnitzers either.

That's not really any help is it? :lol:

Oh right... didn't reailise that... well thats all thats on there so who knows!!!

Thanks for the info guys.

Someone on here must have seen these before and know!

Will be up for sale if I get some good offers, they're not officially mine, there my mothers husbands, so I gotta give him something aswell. although they were mine etc etc long story.

There is a very slight flat spot on one of the rears, not noticable at all while driving, and hardly by sight, I showed Fozzymonster (Mark) them the other day, and he didn't notice until I pointed it out!!!
