What do you think of these for a red S5 FC? Could get the full set of 4 for about $150 and they look in decent shape apart from some scuffs on one that you can see.




Would appreciate any thoughts, good or bad, on this.

 

Those are just like the stock vert wheels. They look good on a FC if that's what you're asking.

 

Really? I wonder if that's what they are. Just wanting any ideas or pics on how they might look.

 

There's pics around here in the "posts pics of your fc" that might have more pics of these wheels on them.

 

if your in japan, you have access to alot of better wheels. those are kind of borring and plain imo.

 

thanks mr. cool guy. lol

 

^ burn!!!

 

...he is right though, you could find much cooler wheels in the junkyard in japan What size are those anyway? looks kind 15 ish ...

 

yea, it'd prolly be a different story if i were from japan too. 15" of BBS baby mesh goodness.

 

In the US you can sell those BBS center caps to Miata owners for $200.

 

I think if the price is right then why not, mesh BBS's look good on stock body FC's.

 

Find me a Miata owner to buy a set of 4 with BBS for $200 and I'll cut you in. The centercaps are exactly the same on the Miata BBS's and Vert BBS's.

 

I was going to say the same thing. I run a business for a vw dealer and they have tons of those caps laying around.

 

Just go on their forums, it's super easy.

 

They're 16" wheels.

 

I think they look great. Old school BBS wheels look perfect on FCs in my opinion. It's a car from the 1980s, how much longer can people try to dress them up with body kits and flashy wheels?

 

Then they should look a bit bigger and better than the pics I posted.
The USA stock vert ones are 15.

 

EDIT: they are 16" wheels.


the BBS "spokes" are 17 that split to two each.

as for the 15",

it's 15 spokes that split as well. very similar design.

my apologies for saying it's 15". spoke too soon. =P

 

To bad they didn't have the BBS in 17 or 18 for sale somewhere. I would go with them in a heartbeat for wheel choice.

lol.

 

Those BBS wheels are a classic. If they're the right offset and bolt pattern, I'd love having them myself. I bet you could get that rim ding repaired for not too much money.

On the other hand, if you're looking for an "updated" look, those won't do it. They pretty much scream old school 80s.

 

Oh, they're the right offset as they're straight off an FC.

 

those wheels are classic man. The vert wheels are 15'' and the others are off a efini version and they are 16. If you are planning to drop your car a inch or so, I would def put those on your ride.

Have you ever seen a efini up close? The baddest FC on the planet hands down.

 

Infini, not Efini. They are two different things.
