New BMW 2002 Touring/Tii FPS Alloy Wheels Reproduction

[joebarthlow]

I'm down for a set of original size!

 

[Djthom]

Original size for me also if there can only be one version.  Is there a timeframe for start of production?   I'm in the club that got burned by Frank Franker and had given up on finding period looking alloys...until now.

5.5x13 would be awesome.

[Fortlauderdalian]

15’s would be great

[Chimi562]

13x6

[JohnS]

5x13

If this thread had been a survey/voting format with every size known to mankind, every button would have at least one vote.

I like this idea, any size suggestions ?

15x7 would be perfect. 
This would be amazing to have available, both in original 13”, and a 15” option.

Ideally there is an original 13" version available. I have 14" wheels (basketweaves) on my car and feel that even now they are a bit wide and firm for the street. Steering effort is high. Good looking OEM equivalent alloys would be awesome!

So apparently there are two people willing to pay over $4,000 for what are $900-$1200 wheels in current market.  More power to them.

The rarer alloy wheels must be even MORE valuable!  Oh man!

 

Wasn't expecting to go on a 'Slavs' character arc, but here we are.  I predict multiple options under $1500 within a year  (which still leaves an extremely healthy profit margin for someone making cast wheels).

But how many wheel sets come in brand new cardboard boxes?!

 

Based on $1200 for the wheels, those boxes seem to have a market value of $2800 or $700/ea.

 

It must be like vintage toy collectors, where the original box is worth more than the toy inside.  The wheel buyer might be more interested in displaying the wheels in their original boxes than - gasp - putting them on a car.

Sheesh. Maybe those bidders had a little too much eggnog. Stuff like this makes me worried I'll be priced out of 2002s. I'll have to sell my clapped out '02 and buy a clapped out Miata.

Exactly NOW is the time to buy 2002's.

O. MG!   I am blown away by this…They are not even vintage versions.

That’s just silly, some people have more cash than sense.

I'm eagerly awaiting the price for these reproductions.  I've put my other rim refurbishment on hold pending the big reveal of the specifics
