Scored some rare BBS mesh wheels!

Not sure where the original thread disappeared to.. can't seem to find it anywhere. But anyways, the wheels are finished and here was the final outcome:



What do you guys think? Looks good!?



Here is what the wheels looked like when I purchased the set of four for $50!



This is how they came out after we had them refinished and painted black:

The lips have a seriously annoying deep level of clear that we can't remove and can only be removed if the wheels are acid dipped. The wheels have already been purchased and picked up and the buyer is going to do that so they should come out perfect once it's done.

I just purchased a package of hi performance parts and there's a set of BBS wheels that looks just like your set. I don't need them, so.... do you have any idea on their approx value?

If they are the same ones, i'd say anywhere from $500+ depending on condition.

I absolutely love BBS wheels. Even better in black with the polished lip.
