Depends on condition and whether they have tyres. Get some pics up for a better idea.
As a rule of thumb, if they are not badly kerbed and have half decent tyres you are looking at around £200

They must be worth £100 per wheel by now surely? OEM BBS are a desirable appreciating asset to any E30

well when you consider that a decent (part worn) tyre is £25 and the caps alone sell for £20-25 on ebay, you're talking £180-200 without wheels!

A set of 4 in average condition seem to be fetching 100-150 quid on eBay at the moment.

There are always people looking for 15" BBS. They are either looking for straight set or a set to be refurbished.

no, not fcked, just not BNIB. i'm going on the normal price (in portsmouth area) for a good part worn, i.e. used, 205 15" tyre with good tread, maybe £20 for one with less tread

4x14"s = £60
4x15"s = £150-£180
On that basis, an inch is worth £90-£120. Christ im loaded!!!!!!
