Look what I just won on eBay!

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:00 pm

Yes I know there metric, yes I know tires will cost a fortune, yes I know they wont fit an E30, yes I know they are 5 stud, but 5 alloys for £21!!!

So what do you reckon folks are this worth refurbishing and selling on? A mate of mine will do the referb for free as long as I supply the materials or shall I just keep em as a garden ornament until someone offers me some cash for em

Located in lancashire, nice drive for the price.

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:10 pm

Just so happens the old man is going down that way this weekend already thought about that one before i put a bid in!

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:12 pm

There only value is as scrap alloy, you might get £21.....

PS they are not split rims

PPS the caps fit no other BMW/BBS wheel

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:15 pm

I knew they would be worth very little due to them being metric but had a little punt and won em

Have to admit i didnt think they were splits as i couldnt see any bolts

Still it'll brighten up the garden or the workshop a little

Good buy there, I did see these and was tempted myself but already have 5xBBS's in my garage (£16 off ebay

) and picking up my 525 tomorrow with 2 spare BBS's!

Get them fitted or get yourself a cheap E34 or E32 - maybe, like you say clean them up and sell on!

It's unreal how cheap these are

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:51 pm

They are cheap because the only tyre that fits is a 240/45/415 metric tyre made by michelin, they are crap and they cost £250+ each !

Post Wed Jul 15, 2009 11:00 pm

Utter bargain! The last set of these I had sold for £120

Even the remoulds are a onner a pop ! Some would say they grip better than the originals.

mines are almost new looks like they will be going on ebay

I know what you mean about the grip as i have genuine metrix on my highline and they are sh*t in the wet!

I have literally dozens of them you can collect for free. I'm only keeping them as slaves until scrap prices rise. Worthless. They are not worth £21.00.

Post Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:31 pm

I have to say, I think you've bought a chocolate fireguard there. I suppose if you had a 5-stud BM they'd keep it off the floor while you had its wheels refurbished or whatever, but they are otherwise useless. Metric wheels are something most people like to keep as 'someone else's problem'.

Post Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:33 pm

I think i may make a table out of them

Post Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:19 pm

I want one to wrap my hose pipe around!! Would look cool in my garage!

Post Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:27 pm

i thought you can get tyres for £120 by dunlop

£21 each!

Post Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:44 pm

I'd take the seller to task over these... they're not 17" wheels... they're not split rims. False advertising... Pete, was it you that was selling them by any chance? lol

Post Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:41 pm

pac1982,

Im guessing you didn't bother as they are still forsale.
The seller isn't to happy either - Timewasters and tramps

Post Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:47 pm

And there's a bid in already - your not bidding on them again to get the price down from £21 are you

Post Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:53 pm

Love the wording
