no great aim to this post, just incredulous a) how anyone would expect to sell with an ad like this, or b) that folk have bid

Maybe you buy the wheels and try different cars until they fit, or perhaps you are putting together a matching trailer for your ride ?

It's curious how someone could come across one front and one rear...very odd.

P.S. Any M3 owners out there had their cars on bricks lately.

good spot, perhaps someone didn't like removing wheels in the traffic, or else one side was parked against a wall ;-}

Not really that much thought required to answer both parts of your post though is it?

Could be they have just bought a set of different ones after BADLY kerbing both on one side & buckling them.

Could be 2 were returned/replaced after the cracking issue & they decided on a different style.

Plenty of other reasons I am sure.

The same reasons would explain anyone bidding on them, also, as there is a part set, if the price is right & you only want one, why not bid & resell the odd one.

I just thought seeing as there's no part #, wheel diameter, width, offset etc it's about as useful as saying they're grey.
How do you know what car they're off.
