Right, need some of your knowledge...

How much would a set of reasonable (or ready for a refurb) standard BBS's for my e30 be roughly? Just ive got to get new tyres and im 50/50 between sticking with the bottle tops or going with some new wheels, and really like teh way the bbs's look, but ive no idea how much they sell for :(

Ahh crap :( Its sods law that the gooduns are miles away :(

I'd ideally need 5, as one of my bottletops is scrap :( and matching spares are a winner for me

Yeah and then a further £50-60.

Money that on a £200 car I cant justify spending.

Plus if im spending £120 on wheels i'd like to see them beforehand.

Most 15" set's go for 150 - 200 depending on condition and tyre's.. So 120 + 25- 30 for a corrier is a good price fella.

Ahh right, might take my mate up on his offer then, I thought he was overpricing his @ £70, albeit their not standard BMW style BBS's.

Will get some when I go round to check them out properly, Ideally if theyve got half decent tyres then I should be able to motor around on them for some time before investing in new tyres!

15" BBS seem to be a lot cheaper recently, seen a few sets struggle to find a victim at £100

Will have to see how pay day fairs, and if my mate doesnt want to sell me his BBS's then i'll be in contact.

They look quite reasonable, How much would you be asking for them? Once again, would have to see about payday and my mates BBS's first...

Well theyre not standard BMW bbs's but theyre bbs's none the less. And for £70 i'd say they were worth every penny!

I present to you BBS RA's running 50 profiles, going to go for 195/55 as its lost 40mm rolling radius due to the 50's

And yes, I realise theyre filthy :P wouldve cleaned them but its just too damn cold for that!
