Mark,

 

These are, of course, the early OEM alloy rims.  These rims, however, are, amazingly, still in production and available from BMW, like the set on my '73 (first photo below).  The easiest tip-off as to whether they are "period" or modern is the cast-in manufacturer's mark.  The manufacturer's mark, F.P.S. (Fratelli Pedrini Sarezzo), appears on the outer face on modern versions whereas it appears on the reverse face on the true period versions (second photo below).  The set for sale are modern examples, not NOS examples.

 

If they were NOS period examples -- in such "needs-absolutely-nothing" condition -- they'd, indeed, be a great buy.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

With a discount $188

LIGHT ALLOY RIM H36100 - BMW (36-11-1-107-915)

 
  • List Price: $244.59
  • You Save: $56.74 (23% off)
  • Sale Price: $187.85

 

But...you must also add the price of the center caps, bringing the total to approximately....$810 ??

 

I'm partly joking here: I believe the center caps for the early OEM alloys are more like $40-$45 each.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Will the center caps off of steelies or 320i turbines fit these

 

No, these are a different size and shape.  The center caps off of the styled-steel rims and e21 turbines, however, do fit the LATE OEM alloys.

Time Out!

 

I believe we need to take a step back and clarify.  The Craig's List rims in the original post, i.e., the early OEM alloys for the BMW 2002, were NOT manufactured by Cromodora.  The early OEM alloys were manufactured by F.P.S. (Fratelli Pedrini Sarezzo), both during the '02 era and today.  Road trip's rims, on the other hand, were manufactured by Cromodora, and probably date to 1972 +/- 2 years.  Notice that the OEM alloy has 5 slots on the face, and 5 "spokes" whereas the Cromodora rim shown in Road trip's posting has 6 slots and 6 "spokes".  The OEM alloy, by F.P.S., also has a simpler center hub area than the Cromodora.  The OEM alloy is cast in aluminum alloy. The Cromodora is cast in magnesium alloy, and weighs measurably less than the F.P.S. rim.

 

I do not know the model number of a 5 x 13 Cromodora in a 4x100 PCD version.  And I'm not even certain this style of Cromodora was offered in a 5 x 13 or 5.5 x 13 size with a 4x100 PCD.  It was certainly available in a 5 x 13 size with a 4x98 PCD, Model CD 3, and in a 6 x 13 size with a 4x100 PCD, CD 40, as shown on the attached page from the history of wheels website:

So, yes, the rims are contemporaries and similar in design, but the OEM alloys were manufactured by F.P.S., NOT by Cromodora.  Two different rims; two different manufacturers.

 

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
