national8 19 Report post Posted November 4, 2015 This is a very long shot but there are 4 1990 E30 Sport Evo wheels somewhere in NZ. They were swapped out of my car around 2005 and replaced with set of BBS 3 piece basket weaves. I would like to revert to the original rims. If anyone has a lead I would be pleased to follow up. Please note these are not normal E30 M3 wheels as you can see that the spokes wrap over the rim. Thanks for any help. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-130 Hercules 571 Report post Posted November 5, 2015 There was a set of Cecotto rims offered on s14.net a while ago. Haven't seen 16" basketweaves come up sor sale here for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted November 6, 2015 I think the word used to describe these is "unobtainium", if the set that came off your car is still around then you might get lucky. There are a few e30 M3 parts horders in NZ, possibly with Keven Mosen (ex-Mosens Parts in Hamilton) or Dave that had the LHD Evo 3 here in Auckland (I know his car had the original wheels, not sure if he had spares)?

Paragon 14 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 I dont have any of these for sale but what makes them so different to a 16 inch basket weave ? ( probably fitted 5/6/7/ series ) ? Just the detail where the spokes meet the rim ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the detail where the spokes meet the rim ? The devil is in the detail and in this case, as you point out, it is how the spokes meet the rim.

Paragon 14 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 it that all ? And these were fitted to Evos rather than regular M3s ? I need to find some pics of other 16 inch basket weaves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philwalter 30 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 I have four of these off my E30M3 which is not an Sport Evo, but is a late 1990 Euro Spec which came with the 16" upgrade. They look the same as yours and same spec and part # , so maybe your search doesn't need to be limited to Sport Evo wheels. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted November 9, 2015 IIRC the Sport Evo wheels were painted a slightly darker grey on the spokes... but that can be easily achieved with those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philwalter 30 Report post Posted November 9, 2015 Yup, darker colour. But 25 year old wheels now days would probably be in need of a re-furb anyway. The paint code for the Sport Evo grey is easy to find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
