Those wheels are a bargain, a proper set of wheels at a proper price, had I been in the market for a set of 17s I would have these in a breath, good luck with the sale, I can't believe they have not been snapped up by someone.

Nice wheels Good luck with the sale

CALLING ALL EXPERTS ON WHEEL FITMENT.
Does anyone know what the PCD would be of the above alloys I have up for sale?
I had listed them as 5/120.
They are ACS Type III 8.5" x 17".
However - they do not fit straight on to a Z3 - and according to a document I made reference to on Bimmerforums.com, they fit: BMW: E46 - E83 - E85 - Part number: 361146300 (located on the first sheet from the link below, second paragraph up from bottom of page):

Thank you.

David.

i think all that info is usually stamped on inside of the spokes
And e46 wheels fit Z3's fine.

 

[DavidM]

Thank you for the response @Dino D - I'm puzzled - I've tried to line them up. The part number is stamped on the inside spoke and all other info confirming they are genuine ACS III alloys.

 

[Antm72]

They should fit the centre bore could be different to the zeds so the wheel may not sit centred but they should fit.

 

[DavidM]

Thank you @Antm72 - are you saying they should fit but I need a spigot ring to bring them into centre?

 

[Antm72]

Yeah maybe the 3 series and 5 series are not much different but not sure if the originals have a large bore . My replicas fit but the original center caps for ac rims are large the standard bmw ones are 63mm i think the ac ones are at least 70mm if not more so not sure if its denoting bore size ?

 

[DavidM]

Thank you @Antm72 - I'll investigate further.

PCD will be 5x120 if they fit any BMW made after the e30

centre bore will be the limiting factor but spigot rings will fix that

Thank you for the response @5harp3y - I will look into the spigot rings this week.

 

[Antm72]

Info found is that the centre bore maybe 82mm on a Gen type 3 wheel you need 72.6mm to fit the zed hence your alignment issue.

 

[DavidM]

Thank you @Antm72 for following up on this. I have been on the phone today with AC Schnitzer uk and they offer either spigot rings or a 7mm hub adapter with extended bolts as solutions.

 

[Brian4]

Just to clarify
The centre caps from AC schnitzer wheels are 82mm but the centre caps for BMW wheels are 68mm. Those wheels have the centre caps fitted and are difficult to find on their own.
The centre bore that fits over the brake disc is 72.5mm for all wheels except for those that came from an E39 5 series and these are 74.1mm.
If ex E39 wheels are fitted to other cars a spigot ring is needed.

Hope this clarifies.

 

[Antm72]

Type 2 and 3 have a large bore size

 

[DavidM]

Update - AC Schnitzer UK has kindly provided one adapter for trial - that is, to correct the centre bore of the AC alloys to Z3 centre bore measurement as mentioned by @Antm72 - should arrive by the weekend - I'll post some pics early next week with one alloy on - hopefully!

I 'm getting even more confused than normal David! Are you going to all this trouble to sell these great wheels or for you to be able to use them yourself. Either way I'd love a set but they'd be worth more than my car just to have them shipped!! lol. JIM

Jim - Initially I had bought them for my car then I ran into the problem of lining up the wheel and hub bolt holes - I thought I had been sold a set of wheels that did not fit my car, until recently, when Forum members helped me get a solution - spigot rings. I am hoping to confirm they fit a Z3 early next week then I will take it from there. I would not want to sell the alloys to someone if they are not fit for purpose.
