I think the wheel you are looking for is the 227m, and finding a rear one that is still round and undamaged is a struggle.

I cracked one on my first e70 and it was repaired under warranty as the wheel was still perfectly round. My second one had a wheel replaced, I think as part of the AUC check when i bought it. Ive also cracked a front one, which had a dent too, which couldn't be repaired as the dent was too close to the crack, so i got one off eBay, refurbished and uncracked but it was still expensive from memory.

Good rears are generally 500 quid a piece upwards

They can repair ( most second hand ones on eBay are either needing refurb or refurbed with repairs)

Depending on whats wrong with it, you can get yours fixed for about 100 quid (maybe less) but rears are well known for cracking due to the sheer width.

Your two other options is to go 223m which is the 19" sport wheel. Slightly better ride, less prone to cracking and less expensive. You could buy a full set and sell your wheels to cover the cost. You could also go 333m which is the 20" facelift wheel, which apparently doesnt crack as bad as the 227m and you can use your existing tyres, but they can corrode badly as they are machined on the face...

Good luck.

That one no good? Refurbished at that price is pretty good imo.

Haggle using the blemishes as a bargaining point.

The time lost searching for an alternative surely makes buying the one identified, and having it sent easier and quicker :wink:

Thanks for the help guys!

I managed to pick up a full set of almost perfect wheels off gumtree on Sunday.

These had been in storage from less than a years use, not one crack to be seen!

BMW quoted £800 for a new one..
