Hi Guys,

Long story, short. Went to a scrap yard today and found a set of 17" BBS LM alloys for sale. They're PCD 5x120, ET40, 8j, silver and I fair condition (could do with a refurb, but not awful). Suitable for German cars, particularly E36 BMW.

I think the scrappy doesn't know what they are potentially worth. Anyone help me out by estimating a value?

Many thanks.

Are you certain that they're real? Fake LM's are ten a penny and everywhere.

Gen ones in good condition £1K+ easy. Reps then £300 at a guess.

Pretty sure they were real! They were definitely two piece and had all the stamps in the right places?

How much can you get them for? This will give you an indication if they know the value of them!

Meh, depends on how much of a refurb they need then. Worth it if you want a set and are going to refurb them yourself, but if you're going to pay someone else to do it and then try to sell them on, you'll still have to go to work for a living smile

Think I'll get them tomorrow. Seem to be turning into a BBS fanboy. I have a set of RK's, RS's (albeit copies) and soon to be LM's.
