i thought they were supposed to be stagered as standard? maybe theyre 2 pairs of fronts, or maybe a stagered setup was a cost option that became standard later on. is the seller sure theyre not staggered? they have different tyres front and rear which would be unusual if the wheels are the same size all round, will they take any closeup pics of the writing on the back of the wheels?

afaik copies either say 'motorsport' only, or are blank. i don't think any copies got away with putting 'bmw' on their wheels.

i'm fairly certain that's the case with the more usual split 5-spoke m3 wheels anyway, and pretty sure bmw would sue the arse off anyone using their name on a replica of their product.
cheers,

harry

I was under the impression that this style of wheel wasn't staggered unlike the later Evo type that looks almost similar in as far as it has a similar amount of spokes but with spokes that are more curved like the spokes on the standard 3.0 M3 rims.

These were an optional extra on the 3.0.
