not sure kyle I haven't seen the wheels and only have the pics to go by. he said they measure 17.25 by 8.1 but I don't think he measured them correctly.I figured if they're TRX they're junk but I guess I won't know for sure until I see them

If I'm not mistaken, I see the BBS stamp @ 10 o'clock. Though the do resembel a set of Enkei's, I had on a 510, decades ago.

TRX - I see 415 at about 1 o'clock in the 2nd picture. Fitting, since they came from an E24.

If they are TRXs they make very nice garage hose reels. :)

Get a better look at the other markings in the middle. They could be 16" RAs too. That picture of the center is useless. The stamped markings on the 2 pads are not readable at all. Those are where the size is.

I think the TRXs have a different centre cap (the one that covers the lugs), at least my early 415 3-piece hose reels do. The centre looks like an earlier version.

In any case, a better pic of the printing in the centre will be informative. That, or if you can copy it down.

If these are Imperial RAs how much are they worth? It seems RAs are the least wanted of the BBS. RS and 16" RZ seem to be the ticket. Personally I love the RA, even if its not the ideal e28 wheel.

There's an abandoned 633CSi with those same wheels and centercaps sitting not too far from my house - they're TRX.

You know I think this would look great on my 6er.

Very retro.

If he will sell them, let me know!

I would like to get them.

Why don't you go price a set of tires to fit them, then get back to us.

Hint: Don't even bother trying to find them other places than Coker Tire.
