On richies advice been looking at some wheels for sale from bmautosport.

Couple have caught my eye (im looking at 17" to keep costs down primarily as car will be sold before the end of the summer but i hate driving on imperfect wheels)

Im looking for genuine or top brand wheels, were ronals ever offered as an option by bmw?

Wheels will be going on an orient blue e46 323ci

Nice ronals

That is weird, I was just looking at a set of these. Need a spare set of rims to mount Toyo R888s for summer.

How about these? They're a real nice looking wheel that suit the car well and
don't look too big or flashy for when you go to sell it.

I have Mick's set of 18" and 19" Original M3 rims here. I think he is looking to sell his 18" rims.

i stand to be corrected on this but i think the problems are with the fronts. the wheels will fit but stick out way past the lip of the wing.

could you not source 2 replacement wheels from http://www.fabdirect.com/ - FAB in the uk?

The fronts fit fine - which is why some people fit 4 OEM wheels all round. The rears stick out a mile.

Fair enough. But I'd dtill stick with a standard design so as not to put off any
buyers when you go to sell.
