How much are my wheels worth?

Hello, just curious to see how much my wheels would be worth to sell, just wheel no tire. They are BBS, not sure on actual model, they are 18 front and back, also not sure on offset. I know they are quite expensive new, but obviously I知 not looking to get msrp out of them. Very good condition, no curb rash or anything, no peeling/chipped paint, and not pitting. Reason I ask is that I知 going to be getting new rims and I want to figure the value of these into the conservative side of the budget. Any input is greatly appreciated! I can take better pics if necessary

Hopefully mods can move this to the wheels/tires/suspension section.

Those are BBS LM's. They're worth $1250-2500, depending on condition and sizing. Your's look pretty nice from here, and I'd hazard to ask near/around $2000. The Honda S2000(AP1/AP2) shares a really similar fitment with the FD3S, and there are a lot more S2k's floating around. So, maybe good to co-advertize here, there, zilvia, ebay, etc. GLWS.

Beautiful wheels. Do you happen to know the size/offset?

Find that out before you try selling them.

I'll also second what Narfle says about pricing.

Sorry about the thread placement! I didn稚 even think of putting it in the tire/wheel section...duh. But I知 not sure on the offset, I would definitely figure that out before I壇 list them, hoping it痴 somewhere on the inside of the wheel or else I壇 have to measure, but that痴 good to know 2k on the high side!

Great wheels imo. Offset is easy to find, it's stamped on the face near the center cap in small font. If they've been painted or power coated, it may be harder to read. Subtract 15mm from the offset if the face is bolted to the inside of the rim instead of the outside (like yours are).

Nice wheels, but get that belly-pan installed. I cringe every time I see this picture.

Take a look in our tire/wheel classifieds to see some old posts about BBS LMs. You can also look at other sites that sell tires/wheels for comparison. I agree with Narfle that our FDs share a very similar fitment with S2000s (regarding higher offsets). Like Moehler mentioned, you can adjust offset by +/- 15 by how the wheels are assembled. Lower the offset, the more buyers will be interested...IMHO not too many interested in higher offsets anymore. Everyone wants the hella flush look
