I have a set of BMW style 241 wheels for sale, also known as triple star wheels. These are very hard to find wheels, as they were only available as a special order option on the 3.0si. Most people stuck with the default wheel option, so there are probably only a few hundred sets of these around. Includes the original BMW center caps in excellent condition.

Size is 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear, so you can run the same tire sizes as M wheels (225/45/18 and 255/40/18). However, you can't go crazy and put huge tires on a the rear the way you can on a set of M wheels, which are 18x9 in the rear. So 265 will probably work, but 275 is pushing it, and anything over that is not going to happen.

Front offset is ET47, rear offset is ET50. On my M roadster I was running a 12mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the rear, and I was still a bit tucked in. You would probably want a 15mm spacer in the front and 20mm in the rear.

These are in very good condition. Not perfect, but no severe rash, no bends, no etching or discoloration of the paint, etc. They have never been refinished or touched up in any way, so you don't have to worry about a half assed repair or paint job flaking off. There are only around 15-20k miles on these wheels; when I purchased them they were nearly new take offs from a 3.0si.

Some spec information:

I am willing to ship these, and I've shipped wheels before so I know how to package them safely, etc. I can ship these anywhere in the US for $150 or less. I'm in Los Angeles, so the closer you are to me the cheaper it will get. Shipping to anywhere in the San Francisco area should be $80 or less.

Preference is for a seller willing to pick them up in Los Angeles, or who lives close by and can meet me in between. $450 or best offer (really, if you're going to pick them up, feel free to make a best offer, i want these out of my garage).

(I spent about 15 minutes cleaning these, the insides/barrels, lug holes, etc. will definitely come cleaner if you put some more time into it)
