BBS/Mahle wheels question

[merbesfield]

Is there a market for old school BBS/Mahle wheels? These are from the 80's I am guessing. 7x15, gold honey comb, 911/912 fit. Apparently these are older production bc they have the Mahle name along w the BBS name imprinted on the wheels. Any help w value would be appreciated.

Hi Mark are these the same style as yours?
I have 7x15, 9x15 all date stamped 1.77. I like them and will eventually do some sort of resto on them.

BBS RA....love them! Not worth tons of money but a nice strong, light wheel...

Yes those are the ones, but gold color and all four 7x15. Value?

Does anyone know if these are the same size as BMW wheels? Is there another application for these that might be more interested than us Porsche weenies? Thx

[Dmill]

got a set of these as well...thought they might be good for autox or some such application

Wheel Trivia: the 'BBS Style' wheel was invented by Jim Hall for the 1966 Chaparral 2E CanAm car to aid in brake cooling (see here: YouTube Chaparral 2E Walk-Around )

Hi Mark,
Those wheels should be 5x130 if they're for Porsche, 5 lug BMWs are 5x120. IIRC, Chevy comes close to 5x130 but I can't think of any others. Maybe someone else can chime in on who else could be interested in them.

Chevy is actually cloer to BMW...close enough to fit..120.65/120
I also have a set of gold 7X15s near perfect. No sale at 900.
I would guess about 600?
