ESM wheels, good or bad, and need a paint code.


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I am just getting ready to do the suspension swap in my 02' and am deciding on what wheels I wanna get to replace my 14'' bottle caps with balloon tires.

I've found a good deal on a set of 15x9 ESM wheels and know nothing about them. I'm hoping the good deal isn't too good to be true so I am asking anyone if they've known them to warp after hitting a speed bump or have flaws on them when ordered, or even worse break in two peices off the hub which i've seen happen before to toyotas.

On a side note if i do get them I am going to have my painter repaint the spokes from black to the inka orange that I love so very much on 2002's. So that being the case, if I get these wheels he will need the paint code for the inka orange 2002's that were from back in the day. Later on down the road I plan on painting the entire car to match the wheels to. lol. If any of you could tell me the paint code it would be much appreciated.

thanks again everyone, and will appreciate your responses.

    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
