1980s/Early 1990's BMW Alloys ID

[KillerHERTZ]

My sister has a set of old 1980s/early 1990s BMW wheels sitting in her garden with the orignal tyres attached. The actual alloys are in extremely good condition but I dont really know what they are called etc.

They look like oldskool BBS wheels and they have the following stamped on them:

BMW 20
48 90 Fundo
KBA 41488
7-JX15H"
1179774


I think these are them:

Anyone know anything about them? are they worth much? not really sure of their name, so I cant search for them.

Cheers!

Yeh they are worth a quid or two. Mainly the owners who have dammaged one or are looking to turn the car back to original. Best bet is to pop onto a bmw forum and have a quiet browse you may drop lucky.

they were pretty common... My mum had a few of that shape BMW when I was a kid and they all had those wheels...

Still may be worth a few pennies to the right person.

Especially someone who has TRX wheels and has just priced tyres!

They are known as Style 5s, if that helps. Attached to most BMWs, in one form or another, at some point...

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Nice one!

I thought they were Mahle's.... like on E21's

Style 5 's came out later no?

 

[Tiff]

I believe they are Mahle's- Style 5's are split rim. BBS RC90.

The numbers you gave are a different wheel to those on the E28-

this is the wheels you have:

These are Style5's

From my knowledge, they're commonly known as BBS RZ's. They come in different width and offsets, but the design is pretty much the same with some of them being 4/5 studs with a deeper dish sometimes.

I would say they're about 150-200 quid depending on the overall condition and tyres.

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Thanks alot for your replies, exactly what I was after!

 

[TGChilds]

The Style 5 refers to the cross-spoke design - either the split rim or the single piece. They came in many variations (some with covered wheel nuts, some not), depending on age. They were manufactured on contract by both Mahle and BBS.

this is the wheels you have:

Definately not them, look at the centre caps.

Definately not style 5's

Definately not RZ's

they are BBS Mahles as far as I can tell from the picture given. Worth about 150-200 with tyres.
