And dont think I'm picking on you ColdAccord, I give my friends shit for saying it too.

    $700 dollars for those is way too much. Should have held out for a set to pop up in the states, Clean wheels none the less.

    they only came on cars in europe.

    if you could get them at the stealership when e30's were new, they likely had to be shipped from europe. Or else we would have a heck of a lot more of them here.

    I can get some parts for my e30 touring through the dealer. however they likely aren't stocked at US dealerships, they probably have to get them from europe.

    it's just a contraction of europe and basketweaves. so everyone knows what they're talking about. so we don't have to type out "15x7 basketweaves with a lower offset," we can just say euroweaves.

      They were Optional here and it lists them in the US option catalog. Reason why they are referred to as Euro weaves is most cars got these as standard 325i sport equipment. Even EU had baby 14" weaves but they are Very uncommon.

      Many dealerships back in the day would also custom order BBS from Tirerack and install them and sell your oem as take offs.

      Regardless they are cool and look great on E30's and for that matter Golf I's

          Love the Ronals and I would've gone this route. Congrats on the deal finally working out for you though!

          I just feel like 700 is way too much to pay for a set of euroweaves. That's just me though.

            These "euroweaves" came on the real M Technic cabbies we got here in the US.

                      If I ordered them from the dealer I'd be paying almost 2000 for them according to this thread on another forum http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...php?p=16977391, plus another few hundred for caps and 4-500 for decent tires. So, whatever anyone thinks, I think I still got a good deal. I know I could have probably got some cheaper but they may or may not have had tires or center caps and they would probably have had curb rash and be in need of refinishing. Besides, it was the shipping that was expensive. The seller in Germany didn't get much for them. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is that I have authentic BBS euroweaves on my car now that were driven on the actual autobahn. ;)

                      Here's some pix of them cleaned up and on the car. Yes, I know it still needs a drop. That's next. :)

















                      To finish off the set I'm going to use this nice euroweave I got from Canada (from a member on this forum) a while back as my spare.

                        to be fair, those are in pretty good shape. I paid like $500 originally for mine, we did a big pallet of crap from the UK (was a huge disaster), and they looked like they had been at the bottom of a river for 20 years.

                        nice car BTW, it's got a great OEM+ look to it. :)

                          It's too bad the best wheels are also the hardest to clean. They look great.

                          I've bought a number of things from German Ebay over the years, and as a whole their English is been pretty good for communicating a transaction.

                            Definitely. I spent over 2 hours cleaning them. They still have some small specks of brake dust on them, but from a step back they almost look new. What's the best way to remove hard-stuck brake dust?

                              have you bought them from a private person? i'm just wondering because he ships packages which are more than 20kg. Normally thats not possible for a private person via DHL.

                              You made a good deal!
