Can someone tell me if I can buy new or s/h a 15" BBS or Mahle type wheel with the correct et of 13 to 18 that will fit E21 323i without spacers .

Do they exist and if so what am I looking for , and where can I get some .

I have read the bit about wheels in the tech section so I know what I don't want , ie E30 basketweaves as they have the wrong et otherwise I would buy some .

If I have missed the info I need please post a link

Cheers

hi, if you want I have a set of Compomotive 14" split rims that fit perfectly without spacers to the e21. not sure on width and offset but looks very close to et13 and about 6J, have 4 brand new tyres 195/60R14. will sell for £700 + postage

Thanks but looking for 15"

Why do they have to be the exact offset? and without spacers?

Only going by what I have read on this forum on the what you need to know buying guide , why what other options do I have
Cheers

Set of bbs rm's like mine I tended to look up pics of e21's on wheels I liked and then find out what they are from there that's the way I found what i wanted

LL what size spacers are you using and whats the ET of your wheels and are they 6 or 7 J ?

They are 15x7.5 up front soon to be 15x8 and 15x9 rear there just bbs rm wheels with wider lips I only use 15 mm spacer upfront with slightly longer bolts which were supplied with the kit,drives great! You can use a 10 mm spacer up front aswel I believe if you wanted less,but bbs rm wheels on e21 need spacers up front

Yeah I also went by the buying guide like you, but seems that you are much more free than I thought.

My 318 came on 17x8 ET 27 BBS replicas with 10mm spacers on the rear wheels, and on 60/40 lowering springs - and I didn't notice any fitment trouble.

Maybe the information in the guide need a little more detail.

Cheers fellas for the info
