WTB 2 13x5.5 20 spoke wheels

[mz_90292]

Hey all,

 

I am looking to buy two 13x5.5 20 spoke BMW wheels. I have two with bends from the prior owner and ready to make the fix. I’m in the Los Angeles area so would love to purchase local, but no problem paying to ship. Please feel free to reach out. 

 

 Cheers

Hey, it never hurts to have a couple spares....

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Thanks everyone for the help. Won the auction and looking forward to having four round rims with no steering vibration above 60mph. Now the hard part... getting the tires and sticking with new style tires (open to suggestions) or splurge for the Pirellis. 

 

Cheers!

Great!

 

I’d have a wheel shop examine all of the rims, checking each one for true-ness, and I’d pick the best four to run: the ‘02’s MacPherson-strut front suspension is particularly prone to imbalance and shimmy.

Thanks Steve. Planning to do just that. It’s been really fun making these seemingly small changes and directly hearing, feeling and seeing the results. Modern cars hide so much and the classics I’ve had (VW buses) hide so much through their laid back and loose attitude and dynamics (or lack of). Honestly the most fun I’ve had with a car. Each repair upgrade has left me anxious not for the costs, but rather the excitement in just how much better the car will be when it’s already fantastic. This community has been such an awesome resource in just the short time I’ve been a part and the outreach has been unparalleled in the few times I’ve posted/ asked for help. 

 

Thanks again to everyone.

I have a brand new never on ground tire and rim

Thanks m-tuner, but I just purchased a new set on eBay. 

 

Cheers.

Matt, I have not shipped them out yet to you and will do so on Monday but want to make it clear that the wheels you bought from me on ebay are not brand new by any length. As the ad stated they came on a 320i and were taken off cleaned, painted then stored away. They look nice but not new. 

[mz_90292]

Absolutely understand and and only meant “new” to me. Thanks again for your help. 

 

Cheers,

 

Matt
