    Well, if you're willing to refinish them, you could probably get a couple hundred bucks from someone who wants them on an old E12, E23, or E24. What is your time worth?
    a couple hundred is worth it but are you sure that's what they're actually worth? From what I saw on forums and eBay (I know, not a good place to gauge value), and anywhere else I could find them for sale, they were selling for 600-700 dollars cleaned and not refinished

A lot of the time the 5x120 BBS Mahle wheels are 14", and not overly sought after. For 14", and in the condition that they are in, I would maybe ask $40 for the set. If they're 15", asking around $60 would be fair. The 4x100 versions are what I would call rare; those are worth a little bit more.

      Truthfully, I wouldn't bother grabbing them. I see these pop up for sale far too often on MyE28 and BigCoupe by people who see the BBS logo and assume they're worth big bucks, when truthfully, they're not. Also, finding decent 14" tires for our cars is getting tougher, making the 14" versions unappealing.
      +1 They don't fetch anything here in California, most times they get sent to the crusher or back to China/Korea.

        Ya, I was looking at a rare (but unfinished) set of wheels from another member in SoCal. After shipping was considered, I didn't bother with them. They will probably end up getting scrapped :(
        If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

          You guys on the west coast get all the good stuff at normal prices 😔 all the stuff here on the east coast is rusted and beat up or crazy expensive
