iX wheels

[APZjd@xxxxxxx]

iX wheels are somewhat difficult to come by -- especially if they have no 
curb rash or bends.  If they are "perfect" (except for minor scratches), and 
include center caps that don't have broken tabs, I would pay about $600 for a 
set of four.  (By way of comparison, Wheel Collision Center 
(www.wheelcollision.com) is selling newly-refinished and straightened iX 
alloys for $225/each).

If the wheels are bent, expect to pay about $125-$150/wheel to get them 
straightened and refinished.

If you're planning on using them on a regular E30, you will need to get 
spacers (probably 15mm) in order for the wheels to fit your car without 
rubbing the strut tower.
