Default BBS Wheel Question 13"x6"-Calling all of you BMW guys

I came across 3 BBS wheels today at a very good price and I am trying to find a 4th one. After searching online for a while, I cannot find exactly the wheels I have. They are 13"x6" with a 13 offset. Also, they are a mesh style wheel. The wheels came off of an early 80's 320i (I believe E21 chassis style). Do any of you know what all cars these wheels came on? I have found lots of info on 13"x5.5"'s but not 13"x6". They are either BBS RA's or BBS/Mahle's. Any info would be great. I will try and get pics of them and post.TIA.

Do they look like these?



If so a Toyota AE came with similar rims. Other than that the only car that I know of that ever had such things were old school bmws like you said. Every now and then they pop up on ebay.

Those are the ones. Are those lips painted silver? Thanks for the quick response. Now I get to search for my 4th one...

Ya, gold with silver lip. I have seen them all silver before too.

Ebay is your best bet, be patient. Or just start going to junk yards.


Also I hope you are aware of the consequences of running a wheel with such an offset.

edit: here is a kick start
ebay, not to sure about the width

I just saw that on ebay after I read your first post. I am still deciding if I should use them. If I do use them, they will be solely for autox and track days. I picked them up for $30 total so if I don't use them, I'm not out anything really
