I've been offered a set of 4 M3 17" wheels with legal tyres (albeit a bit of a mixed bag). They will need to be refurb'd due to a little kerb damage, but they've been offered to me for £150.

Three questions:

1. Worth the money? Once refurb'd, I'd be looking at a set of four wheels for £350 which doesn't seem bad.

2. Should I replace the wheels on my 328i cab (see profile) with the aforementioned items? Still undecided as my car is not an M3 and I don't want it to look like I'm trying to make it one. It does have the M-Tech kit though and is not debadged. Opinions?

3. Related to the above, were the Motorsport wheels mentioned an option for anything other than an M3?

1. The price seems good, as long as they are genuine wheels and not replicas.

2. M3 wheels should not be on anything but an M3 (imo). I even get annoyed when people put 328iS wheels on 'normal' 3-series cars (cos i have one )

3. M3 wheels are for M3's only afaik. I don't like the 5-spoke M style really, much prefer multispoke variety
