hey guys i bought this car a couple months ago and the rims on it are sweet but i havent been able to figure out what theyre worth. the local tire shop doesnt really deal with nice rims like this and they were basicaly clueless.. the center plastic cap has what looks like a manufactures symbol but all my google searches have been fruitless. ive uploaded a blow up pic of the rim and here is a link to what the rim looks like in its entirety

if someone could tell who makes these rims and what theyre called that would be awesome

thanks in advance

It looks like he found what they were. Faux multipiece wheels that has a decent look to it.

I would guess they were 200ish a piece new. Just looking at them.

Just checked the link above. Choose top link to search. Choose 1996 BMW and one of the options is M3/S3/CLSII

Wonder if anyone with an ACS CLSII has jumped on the site :)

+1 MB's are dirt cheap.

on another note, I had no idea you could get an H speed rated 225-40-18.
also take the red paint off your tiny stock calipers.

Forget the caliper paint, take those chrome strips off the wheel wells!
