BBS wheels from an e21?

[crxb16t]

I scored a set of bbs wheels from the junkyard, and need one more for a complete set. Nothing came up on ebay. I googled the Part # stamped on the wheel and got a link to this german classifieds website. Are these commonly found on e21s? http://www.dhd24.com/azl/index.php?anz_id=9444462

I could be wrong, but I think they came on some of the gray market e21 323i m20 cars.

Although a lot of the gray market 323's over here had those wheels by the time they came over the E21 still only came with 13's as stock .

Your best bet in the states to finding one wheel is to get ahold of Dave Varco at Aardvark Racing as he refinishes old school wheels and those wheels (and RA's) are still popular in the E21 scene .

They can go for up to a grand a set in good condition, so they are getting expensive. I cant remember who it was on bimmerforums who had a pair he would split up for someone looking for a spare. I was going to grab one off him till other things happened.

I'll get those up when they're worth taking pictures of. They were badly oxidized It took some 60 grit to take it off. I got up to 150 grit and realized I used the other grits polishing other random stuff.

Pics after I get more sandpaper, and hit it with my ghetto buffing wheel attached to an air drill.

I couldn't make up my mind on a color so I redid the front in gold and the back in a darker caramel. The caramel is too dark, and the gold looks plain, any suggestions?

Why are they two different colors?

Just curious.

Just looking for a color that works well with the car.

Oh I see.

I would go darker.

Front looks good, but it's the typical color.

Rears aren't bad, just a weird shade. Maybe even go darker?

[crxb16t]

Yeah the back wheel is a caramel metallic. it looked good in theory but not in practice. Darker as in a copper/bronze shade?
