I did some similar research, see this link:

Tells you a pretty good timeline for the rims - early 90's depending on the exact ones but I think they're all pretty much the same bar the sticker except for the very early ones which have a raised section on the inner radius.
Nice rims

If you follow the link and scroll down to the '1993 accessory catalog' (sic) section you will see this image:
despite not listing the BCR2, it is shown in the picture.
So, 1993.
Now, if someone could find me some of these:
all will be right with the world

The BCR rims were used by David Baker as far back as '92, he had them on his Raleigh. The BCR 2 was usually fitted to the rear and the BCR 1 to the front. The BCR 2 is a heavier more robust rim whilst the BCR 1 is a lightweight.
