WTB: BMW OEM Alloy Rims in 5.5"x13" Size


Conserv

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to complete a set of the "late" OEM alloy rims in the 5.5" x 13", ET18, size. These rims were actually manufactured for the early European e21 cars, but their face appearance is identical to the 5", ET28, rims manufactured for the square taillight 2002s and the 6", ET13, rims manufactured as an option for the 2002 turbo.

Part number is 36111112732. The face of these rims is marked, in addition to a BMW roundel:

5 1/2 x 13

36 11 1 112 732

F.P.S.

The example below is dated May 1975 (unless that's July 1975: the month "dots" are a bit ambiguous). And, yes, these are rare in the U.S.: appreciably rarer than the 5" versions but less rare than the 6" versions. I've never seen a Mahle version of the 5.5" rim, but I'd be equally interested in those as well -- if they exist.

Strictly German in Braselton, Georgia, had three of these rims 3 years ago. Not realizing they had three of the 5.5" rims mixed in with a dozen or so of the 5" rims, I wouldn't be surprised if multiple buyers of those rims (apparently all sold by now) are currently running "accidentally-mixed" sets. I found the example pictured below, for instance, matched with three 5" Mahle rims!

If you require payment via Western Union, please don't waste your time contacting me.

Thanks and regards,

Steve

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
