acklac7 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Looking at getting a set of (used) JDM BBS rims. Haven't been in the wheel market for a bit but always loved the BBS look. Anything I should be aware of other then obvious damage etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit new they are like $4000. The going rate for a used 16" set is anywhere from $1000-1700, and were talking used like noticeable rash etc. But still, it's the look i've always wanted and I really can't see myself going with another rim, even though I could probably buy a brand new set of Enkies for the same price.

acklac7 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 thnx, good site, about the same prices as the ones im looking at though. Also can the powdercoaters on here match the exact BBS gold color? I mean i've seen some that were powdercoated and the color was off. I'd like to get as close to original as possible.

AWW$HEEET Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I would look at the wurth brand paints if you are concerned with match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 There are deals out there. I got my set of 19" LM's for $2000. Had wheel medic redo them, they were originally all silver, this it how it turned out. I described to them the color I wanted, but it ended up matching their black diamond color. http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/bbs/swap/bbs_lm_dblkml_ci3_l.jpg They weren't able to powdercoat it that color, just paint.

BBQdDude Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Also hit up NASIOC.com a Suby site. They always seem to have some up there. Wheel Medic can match the "gold" color without even trying . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acklac7 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) http://i44.tinypic.com/xdgw14.jpg Went with the 17" RS, ordered a set of Black BBS Center caps (off a Subaru) for em too. Can't wait till spring, even though it's more or less spring now. Edited February 2, 2012 by acklac7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
