Its going with the car. I would sell the LTWs and, for the right price, my BMW Business CD43 without any messed up pixels. PM me if you're interested.

I've got a set of (4) non-stamped OEM 7.5" LTWs in very good condition that will be available in about a week if anyone is interested.

I have the remnants of an original LTW in my garage.

The original LTW rims, the ones that came on this car at least were staggered, but interestingly ran the same size 235 all around from the factory.

This was a half-way point for the E36 M3 in our US market, the OBD-1 cars ran 7.5's all around.

The OBD-II's ran staggered rims like the LTW, but ran 225 front tires to get more understeer.

Anyway, its been beaten to death, but this may clarify that early cars were non-staggered, same tire all around, M3 LTW staggered rims, but same tire all around late cars staggered rims and tires.

(yes, I have the original rims, no they're not for sale, they'll get refurbed and end up on the S54 M-Technic for street driving, not show days where the refurbed original rims will be displayed.)

Is Wheel Collision on the east coast still the top-notch place to ship rims?

carry-on.

The original M-tech wheels are sweet

Euro 3.2 cars had staggered wheels, but non staggered tires as well.
