Car Forum / BMW Cars / April 2004E36 wheel question
Hi All, I have a '98 328i sedan w/ stock 15" wheels. One was bent from a pothole. It holds air fine. I didn't actually notice the problem until I changed over to my snow tires in December. The dealer can't repair it. A replacement from them is $335. My question is this: Is there any problem with replacing it with a replica, available online at a little over half the price? Are there quality/weight issues to be taken into account? Thanks for any advice. Lots of people will just keep the bent rim in the trunk as the spare. This strategy keeps the spare out of the tire rotation pattern, but that should be OK. > Hi All, > I have a '98 328i sedan w/ stock 15" wheels. One was bent from a pothole.

You should be able to get a set of used stock alloys WITH tires on them (bottle cap style) for $335!!! or less >Hi All, > I have a '98 328i sedan w/ stock 15" wheels. One was bent from a pothole.

When I took a chunk out of one of my stock alloys on my '94 E36 I just picked up a set off eBay for ?60 (around $100) (set of 4 including harly worn tyres). Now I have 3 spares for next time I catch a kerb or a hole ;) Dan > > Hi All, > > I have a '98 328i sedan w/ stock 15" wheels.
