Default Identify these wheels!

My next door neighbor(which has since moved) just GAVE me his oem wheels and I'm curious at to what they are and how much a set is worth. They are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Anyone have a clue?

They look like OEM CSL rims... but judging by the quality, they are probably replicas from alot of different brands that manufacture those rims.

If original... they are worth alot of money

if reps, good luck!

take a picture for me from the backside of the rim.

They look like replicas. If so you can buy a new set for 800 bucks. A real set OEM Euro CSL's he would not have left for you.

Yeah those aren't concave enough to be CSL's. Even the US Competition package E46 wheels were more concave than that. I think those may have been a factory option wheels for standard E46 3-series, that or replicas.

The guy's car looked just like this one. Tuned, Twin-turbo, etc. only a slightly lighter shade of blue. I wouldn't think he would have left me the REAL thing either but he kept complaining about how he had nowhere to put them at their new place. Also one is bent so I was thinking maybe he didn't wanna to bother getting it repaired. Its a really weird situation b/c I NEVER spoke to the fellow. His GF just sees me working on the S all the time so whenever the though of throwing them out came up, I was the first in line.

Man, I have no idea about ANY of this German e series stuff. We were having a convo about our car right before he forked them over and I remember him saying how he had an exhaust flap button on his steering wheels and "of course its twin turbo" was his exact words... I wish there was some way I could just get in contact with this dude, that way it'll kill on the guess work. I just felt kinda weird asking a lot of questions being that he was just GIVING them to me.
