Trying to ID alloy

Post by tek81 » Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:44 pm

Found out earlier today that one of the alloys on my 3 series has cracked owing to a botched weld job by the previous owner. I'm looking to buy a new one but I'm having trouble identifying the model number / name of the alloy. Can anyone help?

Cheers for the info:) I'm wondering if a repair would even be feasible. It has already been done in two places on the inner edge of the wheel, and because it's cracked it's causing damage to the tyre. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a replacement.

There are loads of replacements on ebay. Search s92 19 twist
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?
