    Folks, does anyone know if its possible to source manufacturers alloy wheels? Take for example a BMW 3 series msport coupe, comes with single spoke alloy wheels. Does anyone know if its possible to buy the double spoke wheels which are available as an option from BMW? I have seen some websites which talk about replica wheels, these are not genuine ones I presume? Can you buy them off a BMW garage for example?

    You can buy them off a BMW Dealer for sure. If it's for the latest model, the msport 19" wheels are the 225M option.

    Fronts are part no 36118037141 £489.37 each.
    Rears are part no 36118037142 £508.94 each.

    That'd be £2k stg for a full set not including tyres. I'm guessing around €3k from an Irish dealer (they don't do parity!).

    And for my own reference, the OEM Bridgestone Run-Flats to go with these are

    Part No 36120415750 (Fronts) - £288.77 each
    Part No 36120415751 (Rears) - £332.38 each

    What year 3 series are you looking to get wheels for? You could also try a few BMW specialists dismantlers in the UK:

    You will probably get 4 wheels delivered for significantly less than the price of 2 new ones from the dealer.

    BM Autosport have a good selection of new and secondhand OEM BMW wheels and wheels that go well on Bimmers (BBS).
