Identify Alloys name/series/online id?

arleitiss

Hey, can someone help me identify id/name/series of alloys just from a picture?

Got them on my car when bought, and was just wondering how much they cost. But it has no name of them obviously so I haven't got a clue how to check that. Any chance someone might know what they are called?

Yeah, they look similar but center is completely different.

Take one off and see if the make is stamped on the back.

I doubt bbs would make a wheel that looks that bad

Take them off, the name should be cast into the back of the spokes or on the rim inside somewhere. Alloys are approved equipment so they are bound to be stamped if halfway decent.

Some people like it, some don't, it's really personal opinion and tastes I think. but I like them anyway.

arleitiss

Alright thanks guys, will take wheel off so and see if it has anything on the back.

Something like this?

colm_mcm

Pretty much (the TSWs) but his have small holes between the studs

Slunk

Try Google goggle it? May turn up a result

arleitiss

Looks like the ones dmc17 posted. But mine has like small squared flat area for a badge or some other label I think. But yeah that's it I think. Thanks everyone

Ah no, the shape of strings/bridges going from center to edges is different.

The wheel itself is not too bad, it's a popular design. They just do nothing for your car, cars colour, wrapped bonnet and those wheels just don't suit it.

If it was my car I'd unwrap the bonnet, get some nice oe BMW wheels and some mild lowering, the car would look so much better.

So they're bbs ch replicas. Time attack shtyle


I'd be getting different wheels tbh. They don't suit the car.

Me and my friend are planning to do full wrapping in white color. He had some experience before, and we are students - We have a lot of free time on our hands

The only reason I really went for E46 bmw is not because it has higher performance or so, I just like to learn about cars, doing DIY (not engine) mostly visual/body work stuff, and E46 have lots of DIY guides online.

I would think those are some kind of BMW alloys? I mean not made by BMW but for bmw cars. Like for ///M badge on alloys as it has specifically such small flat area on alloy.

CSL replicas looks more like it. Has the square badge bit aswell

colm_mcm

The bbs ch was original equipment on a few cars, but yours are almost certainly replicas (fake)

Yeah, that's what it really looks like, only difference I see is color, but I think that can be changed on any alloy

Yeah, seems like it
I checked price online, how come it says over 1000 euros? I thought replica would mean around 400 euros for all 4?

Indeed. Still expensive though, I mean that's used (I think as it says where) and no tires. Guess I have wrong understanding of word "replica"

colm_mcm

It's US dollars. About €570

Yeah, no tires though, so rougly let's say it's 700 EUR with tires?
