There are a set of e46 wheels for sale on Craigslist in Salem, OR that I'm interested in. OEM style 135 (ZHP).
Before I look at them and possibly make an offer I would like to know what you all have to say.
From what I gathered the rears will bolt on but the fronts will need 12.5 mm spacers and longer bolts. True?
Is there anything besides curb rash, cracks, and warpage I should look for?

I did a quick google search and found this...

Remember that they are 18'' and if you get one off of an E46, the offsets are going to be really weak and you'll probably want to run a spacer front and rear. They make a version for the E60 as shown here:

but those are different offsets and only come in 18x8 all around which is pretty weak for our cars unless you have an xi.
Oh and for the record, those are not E46 M3 wheels, just in case the seller is trying to play them off to be. They are from the ZHP package which is completely different.

M3 Wheels will require front spacers only 10mm-20mm the Rears should mount fine
If they're E46 non M3 Stay away from them
E60's have great replica and factory sizes cal one of the vendors on this site
