Any E46 Mid-Atlantic - BBS RC090 - Style 5 - Barrels and Faces

When I first bought these wheels they were beat to hell by some kid. My intention was just to buy them, paid $700, restore them and then sell. However, I've started another project and am just calling this an investment loss and trying to make back what I can.



The barrels are in 8.5-9/10 condition, I spent countless hour sanding out all the curbage and the gouging on all 4 barrels. I sanded from an 80 grit up to a 3000 grit and then polished them. I kind of rushed the polish on them so to get them truly looking like mirrors I'd suggest redoing the 3000 grit (or 5000 if you can get your hands on it), using rubbing compound, then jewelry cleaner, and then polish with a polishing cone/ball (either Mother's Mag or Blue Magic).



The faces/centers are in 6/10 condition and could use a refinish. They're currently plastidipped white, by the PO, and he did a crap job. Theres uneven coats and overspray. I'd recommend a citrus cleaner/goo gone mix and a power washer to remove the plastidip and then refinishing the centers. No center caps.



There is no mounting hardware to hold the faces and barrels together. I ended up breaking numerous bolts on disassembly because they had seized and just threw it all away in anger. But you can buy new RC bolts from Wokke.de, straight from Germany, or you can use RS bolts from many domestic locations (I'd suggest Black Forest Industries).



Wheel size: 17x8

Pattern: 5x120

Offsets: +20

Hub: 74.1mm



Barrels and faces are 34 bolt pattern.

Barrels are one piece, not split.



Pricing (all prices OBO):

$300 for barrels

$240 for faces

$500 for both



Trades:

205/40/18 tires plus cash (depending on brand/condition)

- Please do not offer me any other tire size, not interested in 215/35 or 225/30.



Will sell barrels and faces separately, will not sell barrels or faces individually or in pairs, though.



Will travel ~130mi to meet you half way (not deliver) . That means if you live 130mi away and cannot make the full trip, I will meet you 65mi away. And if you live 260mi away, I will meet you 130mi.

I do not want to ship.



I've included pictures of what the wheels currently look like but the camera on my phone will not focus and the glass is scratched which causes it all to look even more hazy, so the wheels actually look much better in person than they do in the pictures. I've also included pictures of a previous set I've done to give you an idea of what they can look like.
