18" ACS Type 3 2-piece, reps?

[Steve540i]

Hi, I bought these six years ago and never picked up another e34 to put them on. I like the wheels on my e39 so I'm thinking of selling them. My question is, they are not marked AC Schnitzer on the back, so should I assume they're replicas? Thanks!

Hi,

Genuine ACS Type 3 Racing are a 2 piece wheel. If the wheels you have are a 1 piece and plastic 'bolts' no part numbers/ ACS markings etc, then they are indeed fakes. They'll not be worth very much even if in brand new condition.

Cheers, Dennis!

Hi Dennis, these are indeed two-piece wheels with metal screws/bolts on them. The inspection sticker inside them state they were made in 2003. From what I've read, there were some quality replicas made back then before ACS rounded them up and destroyed them.
