Unhappy BMW 313 18" Double Spoke Alloys (Discontinued)

I just spoke to the parts guy at my local BMW dealership, he states that they are no longer producing 313 Double Spoke Alloys. I made the mistake of powder coat refurbing mine in shadow chrome, they look good from a distance but tend to discolor after washes really quick and don't complement the car as well as OEM ones.

I've managed to source two fronts from Autohaus Langer GMBH in Germany at great cost, but i'll only order if i can confirm the rears.

Front: Performance 18" Double Spoke 36116787645
Rear: Performance 18" Double Spoke 36116787646

Any thoughts on how i can get these?

Maybe wrecking yards if you're lucky, there was a guy in the states that specialized in OEM BMW wheels (used), he may have some - can't recall but some googling should net you his info.

Can't you re-finish the powder coated ones back to original?

If you really want them, what about the 313M wheels like the ones that come on the 135is? They're expensive, though.

ECS Tuning, for example, was still selling them, so they were available at the time, when the Performance 313 rears were NLA. Don't know if they're currently still available. Sorry, don't remember the part number (too lazy to look, lol).

The only difference that I know of is "Performance" on one and an "///M" on the other. And, of course, the price.

I think they're on second refurbs, been told you should only powdercoat once, tempted to refurb them black however.

I had the Performance 313s on my old 135i and thought they were beautiful.

Called the main dealership and the 313M's are readily available, at an unbelievable cost however.

Why do they cost so much more than the Performance versions?

Any suggestions where I can get these M stickers (for the 313 wheel)? I have a couple of wheels that have lost their decals.

So if you lose the little M stickers do you lose some hp too?

Esteban - don't mock. You are the one that recommended I buy spare 313s (f&r). And I took your good advice. So now I have five BMW Performance and 2 'M' sticker versions.

No mocking here, just a lighthearted joke based on lemansblau135is's post above and your missing stickers.

Life is too short to sweat the small stuff...

PS - and I don't think I ever recommended buying the M versions. (Wonder if the extra hp works on a non "is" car?) lol

And that is the way I took it. You gave me the ECS lead on the front (BMW Perf) but the only rears to be had were off a wrecked 135is. In cleaning them up, the seller lost the stickers.
I will do some testing once I get the stickers to see how much hp they add.

You can always add REAL hp by getting PPK (or any tune of your choice), as I'm sure you already know.

Good luck with the M stickers.
