Hey guys I don;'t post around in here much showing my dick but I wanted to get your input.
I've got an old set of authentic complete BBS RS' I'm selling because I don't want to put the time into refinishing them. I got them for cheap and just want to turn them for a set of wheels and tires. They're 16x7 +38.
My goal is to sell them and buy a set of wheels at least 17x9 w/ decent tires.

A guy has offered to trade me stright up for some FR500 rep wheels. Rears are 17x10.5 +27et with 275/40/17 almost new Sumitomo all-seasons. Front are 17x9 +29et w/ 235/45/17 hankook Ventus' that need replaced soon.
They are clean, no curbs or bends.
Here's a pic of one of the rears.



What size spacers would I need to run to clear my suspension, I don't mind rolling the **** out of my fenders.

I want to put them on my GTUs for everyday driving. These are way too big and heavy for autocross, I have some R-comps and 15's for that.

Do you think it's worth it?

 

Yes, do it. BBS RS are lame.

 

I know you care so much. I'll sell mine to you for a good price.

 

imo... those wheels are ugly, don't do it.


but as a disclaimer, there are only about six different wheels I like lol.

 

Not interested in buying that junk.

 

didn't twin80's have those wheels on his slammed fc?? **** looked dope

 

Come on man, they're so in style. Just like yours. You're the BBS expert, you can flip them in no time.

 

you could sell your rs and buy a set of wheels that arent replicas. Hell, I sold my forged r33 gtr wheels that are 17x9 for 550 lol.



either that or save up.

 

lies!

 

Corrected

If they were a desirable size I would say sell them. (of course that would mean refinishing them to get top dollar, which u have expressed no desire to do) So you might as well trade them

 

That's what my plan is. Some guy PM'ed me and offered the FR reps for a straight trade.
I'd rather take the cash and buy some legit cobra wheels. I just wanted to see what you all think about the FR's.

I also know I could rebuild the RS' and do 16x9 with 3.5" lips.... But I don't care about spending the money on looks. I've never been the kinda guy to ***** out pics of my car. I'm looking for function over form. I want more meat on the road.

I literally got these for less than the price of a set of stock wheels... because the guy I bought them from thought they were stock vert wheels.

I'm gonna pass on the FR's. They probably weigh too much and the tires aren't stellar.

 

I dunno.

Can we get a picture of your car? Trying to picture this in my head just isn't working.

 

did you have tires on the BBS RS? Those FR500 are not my favorite wheels , there are a few other mustang wheels that look pretty good. but if you are in need of some tires then go for it.

 

If you wanna double the weight of your wheels...
