 Topic: 16" BBS Wheels
Posted: 11-July-2003 at 11:49 |
|
Anyone know where I can get a set of proper/real BMW BBS 16" wheels for my new (well it's new to me!) M3 E30?
Don't want to pay silly money though!
Any suggestions for alternatives?
She's currently undergoing the TLC that the previous owner sadly lacked to provide, and I intend to leave her as original as possible. So no silly ideas please!

Only 19 views, and no posts except for Eamo - who's after the same thing - doesn't bode well for this link. perhaps I put it in the wrong Forum?
Anyone got any (clean!) suggestions ?

If you are serious about getting a set of wheels in perfect condition and you plan on holding onto the car long term, you should give consideration to a new set from BMW. While they are expensive, they will be brand new and free from any kerb rash or other damage.
I bought a new set of 15" BBS x-spokes from the local BMW dealer last year, and while they seemed expensive at the time, it was a purchase that I'm very happy with.

Birds have a deal on some Hartge wheels for the E30 M3.
It is the classic Hartge spoked wheel made for the E30 M3 with the correct offset..
Slightly wider rears than fronts (that's the way to go trackday peeps).
The full set for under £600.. thats less than half price!
give Kev Bird a call.. he don't have many sets left!
