Cant get my head round this. I have 15" BBS X-spokes with 205/55/15 tyres on the car and 15" Hartge wheels with 195/50/15 off the car.

I want to have the Hartge rims refubished, put 205/55/15's on them (new or second hand) and put them on the car and sell the BBS's and 195/50/15's. Its the order im getting stuck on

so far I have

1 Get refubisher to take tyres off Hartge rims
2 refubish Hartge rims but not refit tyres
3 take refubished rims and car and swap 205/55/15 from BBS put on Hartge, put Hartge rims and tyres on car.
4 sell BBS wheels and 195/50/15 tyres seperately

or

1 swap tyres from BBS to Hartge
2 put BBS & 195/50/15's on car
3 get refubisher to remove tyres on Hartge's refubish & refit tyres
4 swap BBS for Hartge on car
5 sell BBS with 195/50/15 tyres fitted

Or

1 Get refubisher to take tyres off Hartge rims
2 refubish Hartge rims but not refit tyres
3 Put new 205/55/15 on Hartge rims
4 swap Hartge wheels &205/55/15 for BBS 205/55/15
5 sell BBS, 195/50/15 and 205/55/15's seperately


Suggestions as im loosing it on this one

Hi Paul we met at the Lakeside meet (black/silver Pistonheads Jacket. 325i touring) when your dad was driving for you, did you pass you test?

Yep I want to sell my BBS as I have the Hartge's to replace them, they need work to make them mint, ie missing one centre cap, centre badges/stickers need renewing, slight curbing, im perhaps making them seem worse than they are, when there is another Lakeside meet you can have a look. its just how to swap the wheels/tires that im having problems figuring out.

If your doing a deal with Ant then go ahead I dont want to tread on anyones toes as I want Ant to do some work on my car in a couple of weeks time.

slight problem I only got 4 Hartge wheels with 4 195/50/15 tyres but have 5 BBS wheels to sell so not got enough tyres for the wheels i need to sell

ie I will have 5 BBS wheels and 4 195/50/15's. the tyres are tom notch, I bough them off a zoner who said they had 2,000 miles on them

Hi,

That wouldnt be a problem about the tyres, as i have a good spare until i were to buy a tyre for the 5th wheel. Im not doing a deal with ant, its sombody else who was thinking about swapping, and i may go ahead, but if yours are better...

How much were you looking for for them with the 3 caps and 4 tyres?

Thanks Paul :) ,
