is there much want for standard wheels from e21's?

I have a set on my car atm which are 13" and don't know what to do with them as I have bought a set of mahle wheels

I own a powdercoating company so refurbishing them isn't a problem if they sell for the right price

thanks

probably not, as everyone ditches the standard steels and fits alloys?, theres always a set of steels in someones shed.

I wouldn't mind knowing your location though, I always need bits n bobs powder coating, what I am after at the minute is a place that can do ceramic polishing? is that something you do?

Interesting question...I recently was looking for some standard steel wheels as a spare and was surprised only one guy here had an answer. As a restorer I would say hang on to them. There is bound to be somebody looking for original wheels for Concours events and as they are always being taken off and thrown away....makes me think if or when e21s get there day in the collectors spot light those wheels could be like hens teeth.
