BBS RT101 aka 17x9 Style 19 Need Help Finding One More

[Widebody325]

So I just picked up a single 17x9 style 19 et26. I have been looking high and low for info and availability on these and have come up with very little. I want to find one more barrel and swap my style 5 faces and create a staggered set. I know the 17x9 is rare and they came in a couple different offsetts. So i guess my question is are the 17x9 style 5/19 barrels the same across the board and its just the faces that change the offset? Or are the barrels create the different offset and the faces the same? Also, If someone has a barrel please please please contact me. Thanks for any help.

Everything exists on Ebay Germany.

1 Euro, no bids, less than 2 days left. Shipping isn't as expensive as you think, and most sellers have no problems shipping to the US if you ask.

Well that's perfect! However, how the hell do you actually make a transaction? Does US PayPal work? Have you ever made a transaction like this? I bought some Brock B1 years ago from Germany but they spoke English and it wasn't ebay. Thanks for the link though. I'll see what I can do.

Yes, US Paypal works. If you checkout using Paypal, it'll walk you right through it. If you're paying someone directly, you can select a different currency, and Paypal does the math.

The basic layout of the page is the same as any Ebay site, but use Google translate to make your way through. Find the link to ask a question, then inquire about shipping to the US. I used to translate my questions to German but found that everyone spoke English anyway.

And yes, I've personally bought from Ebay Germany. It's the best way to find rare BMW parts. I'm planning on buying a set of wheels on there right now.

Dude that's such a big help thank you. Guy actually got back to me and the auction was for just the style 19 faces unfortunately. But I'm sure my odds there are much better than stateside. Thanks again. Btw what wheels you buying

No problem. Ebay.de is a great thing for BMW owners.

Unfortunately the wheels I wanted sold earlier today. I've been searching for a set of MK Motorsport MK2s with 10" rears for nearly a year.
