Hello there all...not liking the look with the alpina replicas at the moment,so decided i want to get a set of BBS style 5's., you know the ones that are dished a bit like on the picture on your top right of your screen with the black m3,that type.
Anyone know the best place to get them..better brand new or 2nd hand?

Any help would be great thanks :)

They won't fit unless you do a 5 stud conversion bud. Were you at the Plymouth cruise the other night btw?

As Cook said, you'll need to do a 5 stud conversion (e30 M3 or E36 M3 Evo), both not cheap and then spend near enough the same on a good set of wheels.

They are 17" btw, in 8J or 9J.

Kitch's moredoor is one of the best imo! I went but i didnt take the e30, i went up in my mate elise instead. I got a few pics of your car - although they didnt come out too well :chuckle:

Re-reading this though do you mean bbs style 15"ers (like in the title) like this

or bbs style 5's (like in your post) like this
