I need to replace my M Double Spoke 224 right front wheel that is out of round from a curb hit. I will take an OE remanufactured/refurbrished replacment if garanteed. Any recommendations on where to buy?
Have you checked to see if you have a wheel refurbishing company in town? We have a great one called wheel wizards here in Atlanta. They can take a damaged wheel and make it look new again.
Thanks for replies. My other 3 wheels are OE wheels but do not want to pay full pop if I dont have to. I will check out Curry's. I found this place on the web and was curious if anybody has used them?
and I noticed the new wheels are now made in Austria and have a small casting number on the outside,
I had a wheel replaced under warranty a few weeks back and the brand new rim that they had to order was different as mentioned above,
Same color and finish, Just made somewhere else with a casting number on it
(see here in this photo I found)
You see the number in between the spokes before where the M badge is, I think it says "13" my new rim has this on it,
I got it from a local SF Bay Area dealer at 15% off list. I am glad I did not order from an online BMW dealer. The wheel came sealed in its original box. When I opened it I found no packing in the box. It was just sitting there in the box like a round peg in a square hole. There was nothing to cushion it from an outside hit. I can't imagine what would have happened to it if it had been shipped further than it had already to get the dealer. No wonder North Haven, CT BMW said they no longer ship out rims…
For about $800 you can order four new CSL style wheels, that match your OEM size and offset from VelocityMotoring.com. Several people on this board (myself included) are very happy with the VB3 style.
