Ronald are a quality manufacturer of OEM kit, supplying BMW, AUDI, Mercedes etc...

Can personally vouch for the first set I ad a few years back could take a serious amount of accidental punishment (pot holes, kerbs etc) & still never failed or buckled

If they are genuine, check they haven't been resorayed/ repaired though for me colour wouldn't suit my car

Best of luck

They haven't got BMW stamped above the ///M badge, or is that just BBS that have to do that?

IIRC they should have the BMW stamp if they are genuine... However I'd be happy with Jembo's recommendation, and they look lovely :thumbsup:

No harm in asking the seller. If he's trying it on he might move on price...

I'd suspect old wheels being sorted, refurbished and sold on. Look at his ebay name and then feedback comments.
