Default BBS RA 157 7Jx16 et23- Worth anything?

I am not a Jaguar enthusiast but I was in my local scrappy the other day and seen these wheels. I've been on the lookout for a similar set of wheels for my 5x120 e30 BMW so I had to go take a look at them. I offered them up to another 5x120 BMW in there and were surprised that they seemed to line up nicely so I ended up buying them. Once I got them home I realized they are 120.65, which I could make work in a pinch but I figured I would see what they're worth and maybe sell them on and get some correct wheels for my car. Can anyone tell me what I may expect to get for them on ebay or what I should ask price wise? RA is not marked on them anywhere, that's just my best guess from the research I have done.

Not sure what you are referring to with "RA"

Can you give us any other numbers from the wheels? The Jag part number should be there somewhere

If those are genuine Jaguar wheels, and it looks like they are, they're desirable. Not many 16x7 lattice wheel were made in the grand scheme of things. But, they're not desirable to everybody on earth. They're desirable to a relatively small number of Jag nuts. If you want to sell them, be prepared to wait.

Value? hard to say. I think someone here recently paid $1600 for a set of four....brand-new-in-boxes.

Post them in the for sale section and see what happens.

Six months ago I was looking for 16" Jag wheels and these would've be a strong candidate. FWIW I would've offered $150 each. For perspective, I paid $75 each for the much more common 15x6.5" version of the same wheel.

Let's hear what others say

Cheers

I'll get a better closeup but the center has a BBS stamp on them, RA is one of their models. I dont see a jaguar part number on them.

Still desirable to some, I'm sure.....but many would want the actual Jag version. You'll just have to throw 'em out there, so to speak, and test the market
