    Vintage BBS Identification Help

    Any ides what BBS wheels these are? Not sure how I like the looks of them on an E30 but, the price, FREE, was right. I normally prefer a larger spoke design vs the basket weaves so maybe these will grow on me.

    Possibly paint them a satin black against my Maroon E30 coupe.

    I saw those but, these are one piece and do not have all the bolts around the circumference.

    These are the markings on the wheels.

    Any idea the vintage?
    Rarity?
    Value?

    Sorry, hit RF on the keyboard. I meant BBS RD's (Design 5000s). BBS RF's do exist as well but you are right, They are the 3 piece wheels with similar design.

    The part number is listed on the wheel stamp in the pic you provided, RD022.
