Rim Value - United Bimmer Community

the other day I drove down to a local parts shop to get some oil for my car, it was about that time for it to be changed and my autoshop class was the next day and I have lift access there and I thought "why not"

anyway I started talking to this guy who was a real bmw enthusiast in the parking lot and he said my rims were really rare? so I said maybe and drove home. I looked them up online and I cant find them anywhere. they are Borbet type B rims the tires on them are 205 55 r15

and this picture they are dirty, but they are usually clean (digital camera isnt working right now) but how much do you think they are worth?

those are actually type a's. i would probably call them rare, but no one really likes/wants them in that size so them being rare doensnt help with their value. however if they were 16x9s they would be worth a pretty penny.

maybe that is the one guy who liked them and wanted them, so they were valuable to him
