Anyone say bargain? I know they need a bit of work and the tyres are poverty spec nastyness, But it's something for the car to sit/drive on for now. The sale of my 17" wheels will pay for some proper tyres.

Chuffed isn't the word :D x eleventy

Hmmm, May be very hard to find one but if the funds allow yeah I guess I will.

Can't believe I got them that cheap! A nice bit of refurbing in the garage and they can go on while I sell the truly council (But tasteful and good condition, good tyres.... Sales pitch, Moi!) 17's

Hi Dave. So why the change? I hope it wasn't because you were tired of cleaning those spokes? :wink:

They're gonna really suit your car. Have you dug out any pics of when Si had them on his old Sport?

I think they're only just council,proper council wheels are pretty much anything made by TSW.

Nice to see you crop up Andy old bean,still got a garden full of E30's and riding around like a power ranger? :D

Refurb wise. I'm just going to go plain silver at the moment but will use a nice bright silver. Next winter I may get them professionally refurbed with a slightly darker centre and polished lip.

:D < Still smiling and I haven't picked them up yet!

They were not listed brilliantly tbh, No mention of BMW or E30 so I was lucky to spot them. :D

I have a set of BBSeseseses behind the shed (Wooden one, Not dolphin grey one!)

Don't forget that it's just a confused 325 SE so molesting it is not exactly devaluing it :wink:
