Says that they've been refurbed, but they seem to have a few marks, also says they were originally meant to fit Z3M, but then states that the front offset is zero!!

doesnt sound anywhere near right for the MC!!!

[Limbs]

Exactly, I think he's probably just got it wrong though as they don't look anything like ET0!!

how can you tell from the front?

[Limbs]

I can't tell for sure, but ET0 means that the mounting face is on the centre line of the rim, so it would have a huge boss protruding from rear of the centre & I can't see one!

The seller has just confirmed that the fronts are, in fact, ET 46!!

The rears are ET21.5, so these wheels are pretty much ideal for a Z3M, although they would probably benefit from some thin spacers to fill the arches.

Taking those bloody horrible spoke inserts out might help with the sale

[Dave P]

the fronts are normally et 43 and ACS recommend a 7mm spacer to bring it down to et 36, the rears would need a 20mm spacer
to give you et 1.5 for correct fitting to a MC or 3mm front and 7mm rear for a E46 M3 based on et 43 front.

I tried my new rears on the car at the weekend: 295/30/18 on 10.5" ET27 rim. I removed the springs and jacked the suspension up to meet the bump stops and I had approximately 8mm clearance between the tyre & the return edge of the arch & about 7mm to the fwd, upper corner of the bumper. With a 5mm spacer fitted the gaps reduced to 3mm & 2mm respectively, which to my mind is pushing it a bit!!

Given what I found on mine, I would say that 20mm would be too much spacing on the rear, assuming a 265/30/19 tyre, I would say that 12 or 15mm would be the maximum.

See how the two set-ups compare here

[Dave P]

I have these wheels and am running a 20mm rear spacer as ACS recommend - fits/looks perfect.

Hmmm, strange, from what I've seen that shouldn't work, but I guess it must!! Take it you don't get any rubbing Dave?

no rubbing at the back with 265/30/19 tyres - I will try and dig out a side view picture

Due to an aborted sale, mine are available again (18 inch).

not mine but I think this car has 20mm rear spacers fitted,

Looks to me like it would rub the arch/bumper before meeting the bump stops!
