FS: BBS RSs: 17X10 +7 17X11 -1 5X114.3
Name: Stephen
Location: VA Beach, VA Contact: PM Photos: Here are some shots of the wheels on the car, up close photos of the wheels can be see below.    Description: Custom built BBS RSs, cream faces with polished lips and bolts. 3.5" lips up front and 4.5" lips out back. Fronts are 17X10 +7 (I am running a 25mm spacer to clear for steering angle) and rears are 17X11 -1. I am running 235/40/17s up front and 245/40/17s out back, the tires will not be included. The hubs are bored out to be perfectly hubcentric on 240s. Here's a description to go with the pictures. They definitely aren't perfect, but unless you have your face in the wheel most of the stuff isn't noticeable (just depends on how picky you are, and I understand everyone is different). I should note I haven't cleaned the wheels in a little while and the lips haven't been polished....ever....so they only get better from how they look in the photos.  Wheel 1- A: An overview of the front RH wheel, you can see the lip rash from my off at the track.  Wheel 1- B: A close up of the face, you can see there are a few chips in powder coating, I have some touch up paint that matches perfectly that I can put over it, I just haven't done it on this wheel.  Wheel 1-C: A close up for the lip rash, I haven't messed with this at all. I am confident it it can be ground down and polished back up and it will not look nearly as bad.  Wheel 2-A: An overview of the rear RH wheel. There are a few chips in the powdercoat that I've touched up with the touch up paint, I only did one coat, I can do 2-3 more and it'll be even less noticeable.  Wheel 2-B: A close up of the face, you can see the ships a lot easier now.  Wheel 3-A: An overview of the front LH wheel. There are a few very small nicks in this wheel, and this wheel has the rough center cap. The spot in 1 o'clock position on the wheel is a cocoon of some sort that I couldn't see when I took the picture (my camera battery died so you get to see it for now).   Wheel 3-B/C: Close ups of the nicks in the wheel. I haven't messed with these either, these would be even easier to fix then the other side. I figured there was no point because I am sure I'll get more as long as I keep tracking the wheels.  Wheel 3-D: A close up of part of the center cap. You can see how the edges of the center cap are rough. It went rolling down the street at 45mph, so not bad considering, haha. I can get this repowdercoated easily. Getting the faces redone COULD be done, but it is a significant amount of work to take them apart and put them back together, which is why I resorted to touch up paint.  Wheel 4-A: An overview of the rear LH wheel. There are a few chips in the powdercoat I have not touched up yet, you can notice them from a distance because of that.  Wheel 4-B: This came out blurry somehow, again my battery died so it will have to do for now. You can see the chips in the powdercoat plainly.  Wheel 4-C: A close up of some of the chips, some only cracked a layer of the cream off, others went down to primer. Let me know if you have any questions. I know the wheels aren't perfect, but again when they're on the car the defects are not super noticeable. If you wanted to replicate these wheels you would have to find a set of four 17X7 +45s, take them apart and clean the bolts, get the hubs bored out to Nissan's hub bore, get 5mm shaved off the rear faces while they're at the machine shop, get them powder coated, buy the 3.5" and 4.5" lips, reassemble and seal them. I spent a good 3-4 hours on each wheel between the tear down, cleaning, reassembly, and sealing. I cross torqued all of the bolts and used blue lock tight on them, I haven't had any issues with the wheels leaking out of the bolts. I am asking PENDING SALE. No trades, I have new wheels lined up. No tires, if you pick them up I have some tires you could roll around on if need be, but the front tires are definitely not going with the wheels and the rear tires are just about shot.

These wheels are still gorgeous! I can attest to building up a custom set of RSs as I just finished my second set. Should also mention that the 17" RSs are getting insanely hard to find in good offsets for custom builds. And on that note. DO WANT!!!!!!!!
