M3 wheels?

[alangorst]

Hi all I was wondering if yous could all show me what wheels came on e30 m3s from factory. I picked up a set of wheels for mine that are seemingly genuine they are the bmw motorsport alloys they look the same as e36 m3 Evo alloys ...5spoke and motorsport engraved in the face. Wasn't sure if these were ever made in 4 stud :S ill get a picture up as soon as I can

Cheers Alan

E30 M3 is 5 Stud.

I think the standard E30 M3 wheel was a 16" BBS wheel.

Cross-spoke styling (STYL.5) - BMW parts catalog

I have a set of these to. I was told these are replicas and not really worth much?

I dunno I got them off a guy in Irvine they look good on the car tho IMO and for what I got them for I can't complain if they ain't worth much was just curious

M3 wheels were 15in (early) and 16in (late and evolution models) BBS cross spokes, and are specific to the e30 m3, and 5x120 pcd.

They were the only wheels from the factory, although some dealers would offer packages with BBS RS wheels, and some tuning firms offered their own wheels ( alpina, hartge etc )

The split 5 spoke design came along with the e36 m3. It was never fitted to e30s, and if they're 4 stud they're replicas 100%.

If they only say motorsport on the front they they are replicas too regardless of 4 or 5 studs. The genuine ones are all 5 stud, and have either bmw and motorsport on the front, or a rectangular recess for an m badge near the bolts. And of course, a bmw part number on the back.
