I've seen similar ones to those on eBay. Have a check there.
Don't know if they are coming from UK though?

Finally someone mentioned something about the wheels im planning on getting! Ronal LS's,these wheels are awesome,very similar to BBS crosspokes,but with a nice deep dish, and a lot more of a shine to them. And you can get them for around Ԛ£75 per wheel, or for around Ԛ£550-Ԛ£600 with 205/55/15 tires as ive been quoted.
This place is where ive been planning on getting mine , http://www.raceandroad.com/ . Very nice people, and their the offical Ronal dealers in the UK, they have good stock,or they take about a week to get in from Germany
Pretty much everything you need to know about these wheels
Oh and here the ebay link with some selling now, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... eName=WDVW some good pictures there. Although you can get them cheaper new i think :s

I like these, purely for the shiney deep dish... but the centre caps have always bothered me. They don't seem to fit correctly and don't quite carry off the pattern of the spokes right... maybe it's just me being picky.
I still like them though...

they're really nice. I like the rondell 0058 (very similar) too...I think South West Tyres in Clevedon can get both...

CaesarBob - I believe that Ronal stopped making these a while back mate. Although they are still readily availble (Only from a few companys though) , so weather they still make them, or theres just a lot of stock i dont know. But you can easily get them at the moment.
They used to make a 16" versionl,shame they dont anymore,they would look awesome.
Geeman- Yeh i thought that a few times when i saw pictures of them. Although some seem to be a very good fit. Maybe it was just a certain batch? :S
Either way, awesome wheels. Something a bit differnt,but still look like your normal "15 BBS. The center badges are also interchangable so you can stick a BBS one in, or a BMW badge

Dont think so mate. You can ask, although i think they stopped making them a long time ago. Over on R3vlimited.com they talk a lot about them and they have never been able to get the 16's . It would be awesome if you were able to get them in 16 but i dont think ya can

Can anyone tell me how much heavier than the BBS's they are? Do you people think they might be less good quality? They look stunning!

Martin Ronal made the original alpina rims so if you ask me their wheels are pukka. Just mailed about the 16's but in a sensible 8.5 wide

Yeh them last night but got an instant Delievry Fail Notification thing, so im not sure.... I dont think the wheels are available tbh, ive never seen on any site/forum a car with some, only people saying they wish they had them lol.
And yeh i think the wheels are pretty pukka quality,never heard any stories about problems.

I'm trying to find some place here in sweden who could get hold of a set of 15". Bin after a set of BBS's for a long time but they are hard to find (imaculate condition that is).
does the extra half inch on the rondels make any difference to the driving characteristics at all?
cheers.
