    WTB E30 14" bottlecap alloys/New England.

    I am looking for 1, 2, or 3 VERY nice 14 inch bottlecap alloys within 100 miles of Northampton Mass. Not interested in shipping. What I am really seeking are alloys that have lived 99% -100% of their lives in the spare tire well in the trunk of E30 cars. Looking for wheels that are basicly showroom condition. If you have 1, 2, or 3 kicking around please contact me. I do not need a full set of 4. Please e-mail me or call 413 563 1829 until 11 pm 7 days.

      They aren't in "showroom condition" but with a good cleaning I bet they would look pretty good. I post some pictures of them if you'd like.

        I'm in Boston and have 5 dirty caps I would love to sell. I don't think you will ever find "showroom condition" 20+ year old oem wheels that people notoriously don't like. Just sayin. You will have better luck taking them back to showroom condition yourself. None of mine are curbed anyways.

                Today I met with Thehemiman in Springfield Mass. after he called me last night. I bought my first of 2 or 3 E30 bottlecaps from him. Alloy was dirty but it cleaned up VERY well. He has another mounted on a car with minor curb rash that one will not see from a distance of more than 3 or 4 feet away. Other than slight curb rash it met my requirements. When I return ( the very off brand NOS tire that was mounted on the first alloy) to him I will likely buy his second alloy. I enjoyed buying from Thehemiman and encourage all others do so- A very good buying experience for me!!!! I am still looking for 1 or 2 more alloys. 413 563 1829 after 9 pm -11pm best-anytime -weekends. NOTICE!!! I made a mistake. I met with e30ntnless after he called me last night.

                  That wasn't me that you met with today in Springfield...
                  However, I still have 2 bottle caps without any curbrash that will clean up nicely if you are interested. Located in Central Mass.

                    Sorry about that Thehemiman. Today I met with e30ntnless in Springfield Mass. not with you- Thehemiman. However let's talk on the phone soon. What does central Mass. mean? I would like to discuss with you your alloys. 413 563 1829 after 9pm -11pm best. Free nights and weekends on cell.

                        I e-mailed you prior to 7;27 pm. That e-mail read: Thank you-I will call you tonight after 9pm. I am computer challenged. You must have not received it.

                          I cleaned the wheels and after doing so realized that one has a bit of paint bubbling and the other has paint that is scratched. If you want to come look at them you can but they are not in as good of condition as I originally thought they were.

                            Thank you for your cleaning and evaluating. I will keep looking for some more rarely used E30 bottlecaps here in the Northeast.

                              I found these bottlecaps on e-Bay. Price seems steep but they are mint!!
