BBS split rims

Post by clees »

I'm in the process of having my original BBS split rims refurbed and once they are done i'm going to be selling them. Does anybody know roughly how much i should ask for when on the market??

With or without tyres? Are they going to be diamond cut or polished rims?

There is a set on eBay currently, starting bid at £250, with tyres. No mention of whether they have been refurbed, diamond cut etc.

I'll be looking to sell mine soon after refurbing them over Christmas. Need the money and space in the garage for the 16s.

I recently sold a set for £350 in great condition with limited life left in the tyres plus I had spent half the summer polishing the rims.

Yeah, Dan is right the rim itself is just under 5Kg for the 15" version. Made quite a difference on the 1 litre :lol: Photo shows my Superl's, in the anthracite colour which I don't think OZ offer anymore.
