tires and wheels can anyone help identify these wheels

[crazyannie]

I bought a parts car and was wondering if anyone knows anything about the wheels. Was told they are 2 piece but I haven't pulled one yet so am not sure.

Also, it also has a set of Scheel Mann seats. I know they are well-built seats but does anyone use them any longer?

Thanks in advance for the help!

hey you can pick up the seats and i'll buy it off you. where are you located?

only a guess but they look like enkei's

[crazyannie]

I don't think they're Enkies as they are two piece and the webbing or pattern is diferent...at least from thef few I've seen.

The seats or the car? The car is pretty rusted and while anything can be fixed, some things just aren't worth it.

The wheels are Epsilons. They are a true 3 piece design and are VERY high quality. They're made in Japan.

The e21 guys would probably pay you a good bit for them.

Well I knew if anyone new the make, they would be on this board. I did not think I would get and answer this quickly though!

I was thinking about getting the one repaired and then having them refinished..now I am sure I will.

Thanks again.

I have Scheel-mann's, as do a few others. Mine are a newer model, but period-correct will probably have more value to certain people. They are probably worth a few bucks. I guarantee you will get some interest if you decide to sell them

vultures... Dunno about the wheels, but the seats are valuable, especially if they're in good original shape. Well reupholstered pairs go for four figures.

They're dirty but from what I could tell all original. Whoever put them in went to some expense with them as he even had the rear seats covered in the same material (You can just make it out in the picture below).

Thanks for the info/advice.

Nice - leather? Those look like keepers. They're from the late 70's/early 80's - a bit late for the 02, but they're still in demand with the 02 and E9 coupe crowd. Be sure to get the Scheel sliders, too. They'll be E21 specific, but adapable to other cars.

We installed a set of recovered seats similar to those in our 02:

One of the very nicest E9s out there, redone by Paul Cain, has a similar set of Scheels in leather:

them. Anybody with a big butt or wide hips, however, may find them a bit tight (ask my wife how I know!)

those seats would greatly help my lingering back problems as scheels are more driver friendly seats compared to recaros.

so are you selling them?

just email/pm me.

cheers,

Those look great! I can only imagine what the rest of the car must look like.

And it never ceases to amaze my at the knowledge on this board. This is just the third or so time I have ever posted to this board. Each time it was with a question and in each case, I had an answer within a day. Unbelievable. Can donate a couple of bucks to the site somehow? Given all the help/info I've gotten, I feel I owe someone something.

those on an E21 that's an original BAE Turbo show car (still has the BAE turbo kit and body kit, too) - the ones on her car are staggered size 15x6 & 15x7's, same et12 offset as the original Alpina & OZ wheels for the E21.

If the set you've found are et12, you're gonna need flares to fit 'em to an '02..............
