E36 M3 Motorsport wheel refurb...your photos and advice
Discussion
Hi guys,
I currently have some Motorsport staggered M3 wheels on my GTii. They have never been refurbed etc and taking this into consideration, they are in really good shape.
However, they are not mint, and as time goes on, I am making the car as clean as possible without making it unusable.
So my question is, can you guys post up photos of your refurbed motorsport wheels, who did them and how much they cost please?
I am looking for as close to standard finish as possible please
Thanks
Mark

Chunky. The wheels you describe came from the 3.0 BMW M3. They was not staggered and had BMW Motorsport on the face. This will is replicated alot badly. All Evos had the staggered fitment (rears being an inch wider) if your evo has the wheels mentioned, they was put on after.
I have never heard of these wheels coming from factory diamond cut. The E46 had dimond cut wheels. Never seen a E36 M3 in standard form on them.

Nat, not sure if I have read that correctly, but the 3.0 M3 never came from the factory with staggered alloys. No matter if it was contours, motorsports or sunflowers. If you look in the drivers door arch you will see the sticker stating the tyres. It will read on the 3.0 235s all round. The Evo will read 225s front and 245s rear. This is the staggered wheels.
when the evo was released, to handle the extra power and torque, they crested the same style wheels but in staggered fitment giving the rears an extra inch for bigger tyres.
As with anything like this, wheels can be changed very easy. I put the staggered contours on my 3.0 M3 saloon. They do look better IMO.
The Evo Motorsport wheels (see my photo above) with staggered fitment had no writting on the face like the 3.0 wheels.
