Hello,
I've been tossing around the idea of getting some new wheels so I figured I'd post up my current ones and see if I had anyone interested.
The 'Good':
I built these from a set of 17X7/8 +45/+50 BBS RSs from Japan (fully forged).
I put 3.5" lips on them all around giving me 17X10 +7 and 17x11 +12 RSs. They are powder coated satin black and have chrome bolts/hex caps.
These things only weigh 20lbs a piece, so they're pretty freaking light weight for the size they are.
The 'Bad':
One of the center caps (the part that says BBS) has a crack in it and the hex caps were not refinished so they could stand to be stripped down and recleared if you want them for a show car.
I track these wheels and that has lead to the two front wheels getting very slightly damaged. The LH wheel has a ruffed up part on one of the mesh spokes where a rock got caught between my wheel and brake caliper when I went off track. The other wheel has a very slight gouge/curb mark on it that would be pretty simple to repair.

This is right when I put them together:

If someone is seriously interested in these I am willing to get pictures of the damage on the wheels. Otherwise I have very little free time and these pictures will have to do. The RH front wheel has the curb/gouge out of it in both of the large pictures of my car with the wheels on them....it is not significant at all, you can see it best in the one with my hood off.
I am asking $2500.00 + shipping/paypal fees.
I am willing to trade for the following:
Desmond Regamasters
17X10(2)
18X10.5(2)
or
17X10 (2)
17X9 (4)
OR
17X9 (3)
18X10.5 (2)
(that's just for Brian Wilkerson if he decides to come off of some of his hoard of Regas)
That is what I want (I believe the lowest offset is +18, which is what they'd have to be)....you could probably get me to trade for some dope sized Minervas (17s), or any other rare 5 spoke or mesh wheel in 17X10/10.5/18X10.5, probably some TE37s.
If you PM or post about a trade please post pictures as well.
Other then that I'm not interested as I already have something else picked out - ideally though I'd love to get that set of Regamasters.
Do not low ball me, I really like these wheels and will just keep them if you will not give me that price or those wheels.
