18 inch Type 71 Wheel Question

[s420merc]

What is the weight of the factory BMW type 71 wheels from BMW.
they are stagered i think 18x8 in front and 18x9 in back
also what is their offset and bolt pattern,
And if anyone order these wheels from The Wheel Exchange were they the same weight and offset and were they staggered and what was the price.

i want to mount 255/35x18 in the back and 225/40x18 in the front

I feel like I have looked at a million wheels and I keep coming back to Style 71.
Does anyone know where is the best place price wise to get these as OEM.

I want to get the 18 staggerd for my car. If I had realized I could of gottne them when I first ordered my car I would have. Some SA are not very helpful when it comes to options. Oh well.


Thanks for your help.

The best place for any new OEM parts is generally www.pacificbmw.com and their wheel prices seem to be the lowest as well. New OEM BMW wheels aren't cheap, so you might want to scour the classifieds at www.e46fanatics.com and www.roadfly.com before you give in and pay list.

They look good but for the same money you could get much lighter forged 18 inch rims.

Check the classifieds at E46fanatics.com These won't be cheap, but many hundreds less than new. Great choice, I think.
