          They are still for sale:

          QUESTION:

          Do these fit without problems? Will I need a spacer?

          I'm from Belgium so It's not so far for me to pick these up for my '99 Estoril S50 with 16000 miles. I will present my car as soon as possible.
          Here's a preview of the detailing:

            I wonder who bought them for that stupidly cheap price

            More details and pics here

            The seller had a few sets for sale. Originally advertised c1500euro. They did not sell so they put up a "make offer option". I put in a stupid offer and they accepted! They obviously still have sets for sale but they have never done a make offer option since and price has varied from c1200euro to c1500euro. I know someone who contacted them and made offers around 1,000euro and they would not sell them.

            They are geniune, they are brand new but I bet you can't beat my price shipped ;-)

            Cost me c£850 with shipping added from Germany (and that was when the euro was a lot stronger to the £ than it is now)

            ps yes you do need spacers (7mm front and 10mm rear, longer bolts 34mm front and 37mm rear and longer locking wheel nuts). I already had all of these for my type III race wheels which are the same spec.

            pps WOW that is one clean looking car. There is a 5,000 mile Estoril S50 roady owned by a well known detailer in the UK and thats the closest I have seen to his

              Great deal you made!

              I'm really considering and it's only 1,5 h drive so I would pick them up. Just need some price and ordering details on the spacers and they're mine!

              Does the car need other spring or is the look OK with the OEM stuff?

                All Z3's look better lowered and even more so with the schnitzers.

                Mine has schnitzer suspension but there are plenty of proven solutions (just depends how OEM you want to keep it as the schnitzer is the only OEM option):

                  I bought a set from this seller last month. He still has a few sets left.

                  In March the wheels were offered for 1500 EUR and I´ve sent an email with an offer of 1100 EUR + shipping which wasn´t accepted at that time, the seller told me 1300 EUR was his best price.

                  Knowing that people on here got their wheels cheaper I asked a friend to make another offer last month when they were advertised for 1250 EUR. We offered 1000 EUR and he accepted.

                  So make him an offer of 1000 EUR and tell him you pay cash and pick the wheels up personally.

                    Check my recent spacer thread here and you´ll know.

                      Thx for all the info. I contacted the guy and 1000€ is OK. I will pick them up this saturday.

                      Dave_p posted a list of recommended tire sizes: What do you guys suggest? Put 255, 265 or 285 at the rear?

                        Excellent.

                        265.

                          Great price ;-)

                          265 or 275 (will partly depend on brand).

                          I have 275 Falken 452's on my type III racing and they look great ;-)

                          I would stick to 225 on the fronts. You can fit 235's and I have both on my sets but prefer the 225's on the fronts.

                            I'm going for 255. It's the same setup BMW uses on the M3 + the the tire will look great on the rear rims. Hopefully a good choice!

                              i asked an owner of one of the south african cars that came with these wheels fitted when sold as new, and he said his car had 225/40/18 fronts and 265/40/18 rears.
