Are these considered decent wheels or just another cheap imitation?

From my knowledge they are a very decent wheel..basically 15" BBS style with a bit of dish and good build quality (from what I've heard)

I even considered these myself at one point and I'm still contemplating them !

500 euros delivered for a new set seems like a good price too, I'd get at least half of that back flogging my current 15" BBS. Hmmm ....

Jim sent me this link a little while ago, I did enquire but they were out of stock

Might be worth an enquiry if the other set fall through :thumb:

Cheers, but the ones in your link are about 100 quid more expensive! Check out German sites for much cheapness :)

This is an excellent site

I get all my morsels from these guys, they have tasty OEM stuff, some which I'm pretty sure is nla from the dealers.

That's good enough for me then! Does anyone know if the BMW roundels from the BBS wheels are a direct swap for the Ronals?
