Schitzer Type 1's

Post Fri Jun 26, 2009 3:19 pm

I have a set of freshly refurbed 17" 5-stud genuine AC Schnitzer Type 1's in gunmetal with a matte lacquer and a polished lip.

I no longer need them due to selling the E36 and wondered how much they were worth.

I was thinking £450 - £500 as they are genuine and absolutely mint (obviously after I've just had them refurbed!).

I can post a pic(s) later this weekend if anyone is interested in them off here, but I just wanted to get a valuation on them from fellow BMW gurus before I put them on the 'bay.

LOL

They'd look sweet on a red E36.

If I still have my red 328i Sport, they'd be going straight on that!

Old bean,
Whats the offset on these shoddy wheels?.
I think you know where I would put them?.

No good for the M3 dude... far too skinny for your tastes me thinks.

Will get the actual figures for you though later this evening...

Hope you're keeping well buddy.

I'm sorry for extremely tardy reply gents...

They are 8x17 with an ET35. Here's a couple of poor phone shots... apologies!

Look very nice, would luck better on my m3.
Will these fit?.
Never relly pinned this ideal offset down on a e30 m3.

You'll have to do some snooping around and find out what fits on the M3 then. Got a feeling they might not look right as there's no dish on them really.

You're more than welcome to purchase them though! Going to finish the rim-polishing (and no, that's not a euphamism for something else!) on the other two wheels this weekend hopefully.

The two that are done have come out really well. Click on the pics for full-res size.

I honestly dont think they will fit Giles.
et13 on the front I think.

Post Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:36 pm

They'll sit too far in then...

Like I said, not enough dish on them.

Spacers anyone...?

Post Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:47 pm

yep, you'll need a 15mm spacer to get them to work properly on an m3 which would make them 8x17 et20 (which should be the same as your front style 5s ) on the rear they'd fit fine with a 15mm spacer but would look lost in the arches a bit, so a 20 or even 25mm spacer would work!

the m3's do still suit flat faced rims too, i thought mine looked good on some shnitzer reps, i just couldnt be bothered spending as much as the wheels cost me on decent spacers!

Thanks Harry, Sorry Giles e36 forum old bean.

Yeah, they actually came off an E36 anyway.

I was originally posting them on here to get an idea of a guide price for them really before trotting off and advertising them elsewhere. I've actually been tempted to put them on an 'imminent' silver Mk3 Golf (with adapters) as I'd think they'd look pretty sweet on one.
