one of my old school teachers is parting out an 89 e30 at his shop. i popped in there to do a bit of work (put on 1" spacers on the back wheels) and saw the e30. it has the stock basketweaves (14") with practically brand new rubber. there are 5 rims. with 4 centrecaps. how much would be a reasonable price to buy these from him? he said 400 dollars. seemed good for me. you agree?

ps: do those 14" basketweaves have the right offset for an e21?

pss: i have a spare set of the e21 13" turbines, 2 good rubber 2 need replacing soon. no curbage. whats a good price to sell those at?

If the rims are decent, then yes $400 is about what the go for, and it's nice if they have rubber. The offset is however, completely off for an E21.

As for the turbines, I'd say maybe $100? They're not the most desired wheel, but if two of them have good rubber ,than it's worth something to someone. Winter tires, or All-seasons?

You might be able to run the basketweaves with spacers. I know e30 bottlecaps can be run on an e21 with spacers.

I THINK (Don't quote me on this), but E21 wheels like turbines have an offset of +13 or something.

The basketweaves have an offset of +30, so you would need a spacer that is 17mm thick. I don't think standard lug nuts would fit with spacers that thick.

i have a set of 1/2 inch spacers. but it would be cheaper to just get new tires i think. but for anyone with an e30, i could get them for you. sorry i dont have pictures BUT i can assure you, they are in amazing condition. 5 rims plus 5 tires plus 4 centrecaps. can't beat the price. and there is a m-tech wheel, with very nice leather. but the bmw badge in the centre of it is missing
