Hello all,
After many years of sporting my BBS RS rims, it’s time for a change. I’m not in any hurry so if there is any interest, ask any and all questions either via pm or right here.
These are 7&9x16 using 205/5516 and 245/50/16. Tires I’ll keep which should simplify transport. The rims are in ‘perfect’ condition, no curb rashes or any such ailments. The rims’ bolts are 24carat gold plated to match the gold on the Alpina stripes and the center caps are special order thin ones (about half the thickness of the standard caps. The centers are polished, between the spokes too (standard are painted silver or gold). The rims them selves are polished but don’t have the super mirror chrome look like modern rims. This was done by a company that came up with their own process before the high gloss chrome look came into fashion. I’ve added pics of the same wheel in standard format, ie, centers are painted and caps and bolts are standard too.
Im asking for €2800 plus shipping.

thanks for looking
Keshav

Those are beautiful!

Thanks Andrew, time to move on to some Alpina Split rims like these in 16” and same configuration as the current ones.

Those are truly jewel-like...I generally am pretty conservative when it comes to wheels; those are a great compliment to your paint/stripes.
I can't resist saying, though, that I had mixed thoughts about getting my nuts gold-plated...

You should keep your BBS RS rims and sell these alloys to me loool
Steve, the pic is only to show the style. Those are original and mine will be repros.
The civil (without center locks) version of the race wheels.....

The BBS RS wheels are stunning and I‘m sure that they will sell quickly. Can I just ask about the split rim Alpinas - you mentioned repros. Are they still available somewhere?

If you are interested in a set of centers I can get you those, any wheel shop will put them together in whatever size you want. Keep in mind that these are repro centers and whether UK MOT requires the German KBA# or such markings to show they are tested and approved.
Pm if interested to follow up

I'll buy them if you promise to come to sunny South Florida and wipe the brake dust off them once a month....Drivers will hardly notice them with my new Turkis paint job. The color goes on the body next week.

Those BBS would look perfect on your turkis!
