Do the guy a favour and tell him he doesn't want metrics on the car anyway.

Tyres are seriously expensive. Apparently they don't do the handling any favours either.
Why bother when any set of E32/34 wheels will fit?

Want the car as it left the factory all those years back, must be a show car
Wonder how much the tyre on mine is worth

I have a set of 5 correct E28 M5 16" BBS x spokes if he wants to put some proper wheels on his car. The metrics are alloy value only.

Mine's on it's original 14" style 5s at present, though the spare's gone walkies somewhere down the years. I'm weighing up whether to keep them on it for the sake of originality, or put 16s on it for the sake of being able to upgrade to bigger brakes..
How much you looking for the 16s Pete?
