I was planning on using the 15x7 Fake Fuchs shown below for my turbo Subaru engine & 5-speed trans project, but I saw an ad in the SF Bay Craigslist auto parts section for some BBS rims off a Porsche 930 and called the guy right away. I've always liked the look of BBS rims, especially the E52 rims. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
When he confirmed that it was $300 for all four, I almost choked. I met him this morning and to pick them up. They've got a few small nicks-n-scratches, but they're otherwise gorgeous! I plan to paint the centers black to go along with the orange I'm planning for the car (I'm a big SF Giants fan, sadly). The fronts are 16x7 and the rears are 16x9, so these should fill out my flared car nicely. He told me that he received a boatload of calls & emails, with many guys offering more than he initially offered but he stuck with me and refused their offers. It is good to see that there are still some honest folks out there -- especially when they give me a deal!   |

That is an amazing deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Coincidentally I got similar E52s also from SF craigslist last year (for a lot more).
These things are very light weight. If not machined, you will need the race-style shank lug nuts which are annoying. I found imitations cheap at summit racing. |

Yeah, I read on Pelican that BBS no longer makes the lugs. Can you provide some details on machining the wheel center to accept standard alloy Porsche lugs, or part numbers for Summit lugs (which I understand need to be modified?)? Thanks in advance! |
