BBS Rare Rare wheels?

Hey guys, Here i have 2 rims some guy wants to sell to me. He says they are BBS 15x7 And is selling them to me for $50 dollars each. Since he only has two, i was wondering if anybody knew what kind they are...Been looking all over online and cannot find them. Any help?

Why buy 2 rims, (unless they're for a bike!) especially if they're hard to find?

Your mistaken , and the vert BBS's were standard, not sure what these are though, just look like BBS meshes

Id beware of the bolt pattern. A lot of BMWs came with BBSs, but they had a metric lug pattern that wont fit on our cars.

I always thought 15s just looked a little too small on FCs. 17s look perfect, 16s look good with nice tires.

Well, 15x7 is the size I think the IT guys run on the track. BBS's are know for being uber light, so it might interest them. Wheels dont have to look pretty on a race car.

Let's clear this UP..the BBS Vert wheels,don't Say BBS on the Cap.(well mine don't.They say Mazda).and also..the VERT Wheels,Weighing in at Approximately 12-14 Pounds are 15x6.5" Not 15X7"...The bolt patten that you "need" is 5x114.3mm..Beware!,and Note: some wheels out there are 114mm NOT 114.3..That POINT Three makes a Hell of alot of Difference,Especially when you go to install the lug nuts on and they Won't go all the way on..Hence a Wheel that Doesn't Fit Properly.

+1. I've seen 18's, and I thought it was pushing it.

You're right, I didn't read the post all the way and I had no idea they were $50 a pop. I would definitely get them, they're perfect to run 225s on and they look great.

I've owned 2 verts and my father owns another. Those aren't BBS rims that came from the factory. Not even ones that have been painted black. The mesh pattern doesn't match and the center caps are different than the ones pictured. The one poster is correct, the center caps on the vert BBS say Mazda, not BBS.

The only other BBS rim that I know of was the JDM Infini (Efini?? I forget how it's spelled atm) that had 16in

I didn't know that the Mark VII's and Grand Vic wheels fit on FC's. They look Awsome!. If i get the Grand vic's 16x7 (which i find locally) Would i need spacers, Hubcentric Rings ect....
