5 stud 15" BBS? What are they from then?

Post Thu Jul 02, 2009 4:28 pm

Just came across a set of 5 in pretty good condition with center caps.

Would they be off an M3?

Anyone interested in them?

Possibly off a E34?

Most likely from an E34. They will of course fit any E30 that has had the 5 stud hub conversion. I think that M3 BBS were 16 inch.

If they re the E34 ones with metric tyres, I can't imagine anyone wanting them!

Quite a few sets on Egay at the moment iirc.

Ah Ok I'll not bother with em then.

most probably an e34 5-series, thousands of sets of them around for not a lot of money.

the important bit is the offset. 7x15 et30 = e30 m3 wheels, which are worth at least 4 times as much as 7x15 et20 5-series wheels.

I've got one in my garage I bought by mistake a few years ago. Free to anyone who wants it.

E30 M3 15" are undesirable against the 16" BBS.

I wish BMW made 4 stud 16@ BBS's.

obviously the 16s are more popular as they were fitted to special editions and late models so are a nice 'factory' upgrade on earlier cars.

the 15s are still worth good money though, i've seen decent sets go for over £300. the 15s are popular with track boys too as theyre lighter and 15in tyres are avaliable in a greater range and lower prices than 16s.

I saw a standard red e36 sat on 16" bbs - i almost had a heart attack! looked awesome though (would of been better with an m kit though but it transformed the look of it!) I still think it suited the e36 well.
