I'll bet the seller will bite your hand off if you offer him a straight swap for a set of bottletops 
joking aside they are very nice but I would never spend that amount on wheels, I've been lucky with most cars I've bought coming with pretty much the wheels I'm after, mims and bbs included.
The only wheels Ive ever bought are my 17" hartges for my e36 costing me £250 which is loose change compared to what many members spend but they do me fine

Those are worth £2.3k imo
They're not as rare as made out, difficult to get hold off, but then again so are 003's for the E30, but there's plenty about.

For that sort of money I'd be wanting e30 centrelocks with adapters.
They are lovely but I wouldn't pay anywhere near that for them, but then my car's no where near as nice as that one either.

Fourmotions wheels, the same guy has the 3pc gold schnitzers for sale
I'd part with 2k , I recently parted with a grand for a set of ACT 3pc forged split rims that look almost identical to those RS's
I wonder what wheels warren is planning on fitting to his car now?!

Does anyone know what performance BMW mag the car was featured in? Was trying to find it the otherday but gave up, remember the pics as they have a funny effect on them.

Stainless Steel lips have never been a good idea on RS's, as they are manufactured from a light alloy compound, and not very strong.
If you do use stainless lips and hit a kerb HARD, you will cause more damage to the face and barrel as the shock ravels through the lip to other weaker areas.
I always recommend Aluminium Lips because of this, and use Aluminium lips for all my rebuilds myself.
BTW, those 4 lips are probably about £640
