I purchased these several years ago from a friend in Germany and had intentions of using them on an eventual E30. Time's gone by, priorities and interest have changed, so I've decided to let them go.
Most likely know what these are, but they were an aftermarket wheel sold from BBS that was a direct-fit for E30s. Dimensions are 15x7" with a 20mm offset using a 4x100 bolt pattern. They happen to look great on E21s and 2002s, but look perfectly at home on an E30 and were one of my favorite wheels, as I always preferred the looks of 15" wheels on these cars.
Anyway, when they arrived in the States they were sent to Prince Wheel Services in NC (See link below, this is the well-known vendor on several forums that famously can accurately refinish the "Chrome Shadow" finish used on early '00s M-cars)
They ensured the wheels were straight/true, stripped and refinished the wheels using their powder coating process and then finished off the lips with a fine depth machine finish. The silver finish was intended to be a dead match for BBS's "Diamond Silver" and lips were left without clear coat, to avoid any clear coat failure from chips or sloppy tire removal.
Centers caps were disassembled and refinished using the same system and new BBS logos added to center caps. The wheels have yet to be installed since being restored and have been sitting on shelves in a climate-controlled environment.
I have a zillion dollars invested in them, but would part with them $1,100 + Shipping.
