I recently purchased a 2002 330i and I really love the rims that are on it except for the fact that whoever owned it before must have like trying to park with their wheels inside the curb. 3 out of the 4 wheels are this way. The 4th was the spare, so one bad one is in the trunk now. Is there anywhere in Texas i can get these fixed for a good price or does anyone have a set for sale?
It won't let me post pics or links wtf
You may want to think about shipping your wheels. There is a guy in SC, mailto:Ramey.golfer@charter.net (Ramey.golfer@charter.net) , that repairs and finnishes for $135 per wheel. He strips, welds the damage, trues, ballances, powder primes and paints. You will quotes from mobile guys in the $50-75 per wheel range. Most will just bondo the damage and spray them. It kinda depends on what you want. If you have OEM or inexpensive aftermarket wheels you might be better off replaceing them. You see older OEM wheels for a couple hundred a set online. GH

that link doesn't work
It works for me. They are Style 68's. They must be popular because there are several reproductions available. Some as cheap as $450 a set. I recently saw an OEM set on Craigslist for $300. Be careful they come with offsets between 20 and 45. The linked website will tell you what the factory offset is. I'd hold out for clean genuine wheels. GH
