I have two old 3 series sport package wheels I am trying to put up on Craigslist to sell, and I can't figure out what size the one without a tire is? Can anyone help?

And yes...I believe they are different sizes.

If you happen to be interested in buying them, I am asking $150 each. My email is eraclio78@yahoo.com

Thanks!!

Did you give the wheel a good looking over? Typically they stamp the wheel side somewhere on the back/inside. Might be covered by brake dust?

If they are OEM BMW Alloy's then they are usually stamped (in the casting face near the Center Cap area). E stands for offset (in German) so you might want to include that number also. It would be helpful if you state what car/3 series and year they came off of. You can also sell them in the Bimmer Classified Section.

That wheel is BMW Style 71, and was fitted on many cars over the past 10 years.

More info is here: Style 71 Info

In the US, it was most likely fitted on the 2001-2005 E46 3 series, since it was offered as an option during that time. If that is the case, then that wheel could be one of two sizes, depending on it it was front or rear fitment:

Front: 8x18" ET 47
Rear: 8.5x18" ET 50

Bolt pattern remains 5x120 for all modern BMWs.
