Hey Guys,

I am looking for a set of 20" Lemans wheels for my car.

I cant find any wheels at a decent price without the wheels having cracks etc in them or being silly expensive.

Does anyone know any for sale that are in ok condition at a decent price?

Cheers

Alex

Ebay usually has at least one or two original sets for sale. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to get these for next to nothing as they fit a number of other 4x4s and are considered highly desirable, despite the ridiculous price of the tyres that go on them! Dealer costs were about £800 an alloy last time I checked :(

Good luck in your search. Breakers occasionally offer sets like this too, but most are aware that they are valuable and they won't give them away for a few hundred pounds as there are lots of people out there willing to pay a bit more!!

I think thats the problme I am having. I have seen a set of 20" ones but they are after £1800 :rofl:

Ive also seen a set of 22" ones but the rear wheels have cracks in them, that need welding up, and I just dont fancy repaired wheels. They were around £800 though.

I defo need to find some as I need to take off my 22" Ac Schnitzer ones to sell them and dont really want to put on the origionals.

Silly money is all too common unfortunately. I've seen new OEM sets for sale without tyres for less than £1800.

Alloy Wheels Direct sell OEM wheels only, and cheaper than BMW. Albeit you still need to add tyres - and that hurts!!

EDIT > Just checked and they're £1678 a set. Plus £1100 for tyres. Ouch!
