E36 M3 ALLOYS????

[mrbon]

Hi all i am about to buy an e36 m3 and am a little confused about a few things!!!
what are the "proper" m3 alloys? many i have seen for sale have the motorsport "5" spokes on them but some seem to have a similar style with about 10 spokes? are these m3 wheels? why the differenc? also any tips on buying an e36 m3 would be much appreciated!! evo or not to evo etc!!!
thanks a lot....

10 spoke is stock m3
and M-contour is luxary m3

oh cool-i see! are the 10 spokes 17 inch aswell or are they smaller?

on my 97' m3 sedan the stock rims are 17' (if that helps at all)

the 5 spokes are forged

[mrbon]

so does that mean its actually better to have them than the others? apart from the fact they look better? also, what exactly do the real ones look like? do they say bmw motorsport on them or just motorsport? dont wanna get replicas!!!! also what finish are they?
