Edit: oopsposted in wrong section if a mod could move to general ?
Inspired by this car:
I put AC Schnitzer Type II Racings in genuine Z3m fitment on my "watch" list.
I had forgotten about them over the past 6 months whilst concentrating on sourcing the Type III's.
Would you believe it, the same week as I fit the Type III's and a set of 18 inch genuine 3 piece split rim Ac Schnitzer Type II racing in 8.5 ET38 and 9.5 ET9 (ie perfect Z3m fitment with no spacers and max rear dish) came up for sale on German eBay.
I've been so lucky with so many eBay bargains this year but was prepared to pay a fair amount for these as they are sooooooo rare with rear 9.5ET9 fitment.
I won the auction for ............ £297 :shock: WOW what a bargain.
Shipping was not cheap from Germany £163 but they did arrive within 2 days.
So for the pricely sum of £460 I have some very rare wheels (the bonus is the tires are only 50% worn and in Z3m sizes as these came off a Z3m, I may / may not fit new)
I knew they needed a refurb and the seller was pretty honest with his description. There is minor curbing on all and one rear has a section of heavy curbing. All the centres are in great condition though with all logos fully intact.
So I'll get them to the refurbers later this week for a barrel / rim refurb. Worst case I may need 1 new rim if its beyond repair.
Hopefully I will get fronts/rears looking something like these:
Fronts
Rears
So Type II's & Type III's down, Type I's to go (which were not "officially available)
