BBS rims

from an 88 'vert.

I just saw the 'vert getting thrown into the junkyard and the rims were just off the car. They looked to be 15" BBS rims with the center caps.

the guy wanted $120 for all 4, is that a good deal ?

$120 is a GREAT deal for BBS wheels. Those wheels run between $300+.
And if you're interested in some BBS wheels, PM me!

The BBS wheels are so light, that replacing a set of the regular 15" alloys with them is like adding an extra 5 HP.

damn, I got back. The center caps are gone, and I swear there was 1 on the rims I looked at. I guess someone got a 5 finger discount.

the price was dropped to $100.
If they were 16", I would have gotten, but 15" nah.

I asked if he had any other FC rims and he showed me some alloys that I've never seen before, and they were from Mazda

You can get new centercaps from most BBS dealers for around $50 each

that's everybodies point, the caps will be more expensive than the rims themselves.
