Hey all,
I bought these BBS RS 211 wheels from a guy in Ohio last year. One of the wheel lips had a slight bend (last picture). After receiving the wheels I got the one wheel straightened at RimPro in Tewksbury, MA.
I then disassembled the wheels, polished the lips, then reassembled with new chrome-plated bolts and new locknuts from Black Forest Industries. The wheel centers and barrels were and are in great shape, so I did not refinish them. I bought four brand new valve stems, low profile, chromed steel, from the local Harley dealership.
Four BBS caps are included, but the BBS logos are not in the best of shape. There are no tires currently mounted to the wheels. These wheels are just too aggressive of a fitment for my E30, but I know they will fit the 5er very well. Standard 72.56 mm centerbore.
$1200
