So I am having my buddy put these on ebay tomorrow, but they look sooooo nice I thought I'd share them with you guys. Here is to hoping I sell them for a ton

So here are the figures on them.

Just under 7" off set
19lbs
Sealed with a rubber gasket instead of silicone
kick ass wheels
If only they fit on MY car

Anyone want to guess what they finally go for?

Are those Compomotive wheels ?

I don't know. They don't have any markings on them. They came off a slant nose turbo.

Jon, those are cut for BBS halves it looks like. You have buy BBS havles for $65-200 each depending on what you want. You could easily make those any offset you wanted. Yes, they come with the rubber gasket (I have some of those) but I still sillycone them just as another safety.

Process to make the centers is a painful one. First get some 16x6 fuchs (Good luck there), then find machine shop that can machine out the centers for BBS halves and do it right so they are correct self centric with the halves.

I would keep them and just buy the halves you want to get the correct offset. The centers typically cost around $250 each to make including the average price of a 6x16 fuch rim.

Yeah, I know Dan. I just bought them to sell them though. If I don't end up getting what I want for them I may just do what you're saying.

I have to think 17" might be a great way to go. Better tire selection. One piece...
Prices are for a full set of 4 plus shipping.

oooooo.... Those are sexy. Any way, I like my 15's. I just hope I sell these for more than I paid for them However, no matter what happens with the wheels I did manage to make a client out of the guy I bought them from. So either way I win.

I think the one thing these wheels have going for them is that they are sooooo light. When I picked them up they were lighter with the tires on them than another set of wheels with no tires. I just hope some 911 guys wants to pick them up and bid each other way up

how desirable are 15x8's? and what is the usual going rate for a set of 4? non-original fuchs

Posted by: J P Stein Dec 30 2007, 08:11 AM

Well......there's light and then there is light. 16 X 10, 12.5lbs.

Fake Fuch are worthless to me. 15 X 8 Fuchs in decent shape are going for around
150 a pop. 15 X 7s are more...if you can find any.
