Depends on condition and whether they have tyres. Get some pics up for a better idea.

As a rule of thumb, if they are not badly kerbed and have half decent tyres you are looking at around £200

I sold a ropey set in the summer,no caps and one good tyre for £80

A decent clean set of four with caps and good tyres id say around £150

Mint set with good tyres £200-£250

They must be worth £100 per wheel by now surely? OEM BBS are a desirable appreciating asset to any E30 :gay:

well when you consider that a decent (part worn) tyre is £25 and the caps alone sell for £20-25 on ebay, you're talking £180-200 without wheels! :mad:

A set of 4 in average condition seem to be fetching 100-150 quid on eBay at the moment.

There are always people looking for 15" BBS. They are either looking for straight set or a set to be refurbished.

no, not fcked, just not BNIB. i'm going on the normal price (in portsmouth area) for a good part worn, i.e. used, 205 15" tyre with good tread, maybe £20 for one with less tread

4x14"s = £60
4x15"s = £150-£180

On that basis, an inch is worth £90-£120. Christ im loaded!!!!!!
