Advice: Value of E46 M3 18inch rims

[SuKi]

Hi

Would like some advice/input from you all on what would the value of a set of e46 m3 stock 18inch rims be worth.
Rims condition are clean, with minimal if not no curbing at all.
In addition, they are wrapped with michelin PS2 with 90-95% tread left. (225 and 255 tyre width)

Re: Advice: Value of E46 M3 18inch rims

actually, stock m3 18" inch rims aren't worth much since their offset limits the models that can fit them, if you bring them down to a tyre/rim shop for trade in, you might only get $400-$500 for all 4 rims, assuming no damage to the rims. much less, if it has curb rash.

the PS2 tyres are probably more valuable, depending on age of tyres, date of manufacture and whether any puncture repair done.

thanks for the feedback guys... with regards to the fitment on other non M(e46 models).. what actually is the issue?.. I have a rough idea its an offset issue.. is that for both front and rear?...
Reason why i am asking is i have a VERY persistent friend with a 330ci who wishes to fit the rims.
Can the offset issue be overcomed by a simple fender roll?

its the rear. front offsets are the same between M and non-M.

i'm not sure if simple fender rolling will suffice... maybe major/hardcore fender rolling? in any case, if he's that persistent and he's indeed a friend, just t-loan the rims to him to try first lor.

Re: Advice: Value of E46 M3 18inch rims

The real issue is the the rear offset...OEM E46 wheel has +27 offset (9J width) whereas the maximum permissible offset the regular E46 could take with just a normal fender rolling job is about +35 and that is on 8.5J width. Anything wider than that, u have to increase the offset number to a higher positive figure.

so tell your friend, sorry dude..really can't fit.
