LuckyBob Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah... BBS? $400/wheel. Can't find them for sale that small online, but 18x8 goes for ~$700-725/wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09LegacyDude Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 that was my problem with them is it seemed way to good to be true, i emailed the guy selling the wheels and his response seemed pretty genuine. We will have to see, i asked him a bunch of questions so im waiting to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'd bring a friend and meet in a public place if you buy them. High dollar items for sale cheap, I always worry about bait-and-snach deals. They meet you somewhere, know you have cash, rob you, and run off.

09LegacyDude Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 thanks for the concerns, i am a fairly large man and only meet people in public places to do craigslist deals. but i havent heard back from him over email, so yall were probably right in that he was a scammer, o well.

BAC5.2 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 They don't, and that wheel is not the same as the ones in the first post. Look at the bumps at the "fork" of the spokes. And it should say "BBS" across from the valve stem hole.

09LegacyDude Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 i thought so, i didnt think 800 dollar BBS wheel would be universal lug. What the heck are these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Knockoffs, and cheap ones. They are probably 300-600 PER wheel.

09LegacyDude Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 the offer from the dealer i found, is 450 for a set of four. is it worth it, you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not for those faked out ones you just posted! $450 for a set of REAL BBS wheels is too good to be true.

BAC5.2 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Those might be real, but would you trust a company who CLEARLY has bad knockoffs and is trying to pass them off as the real thing? There are PLENTY of affordable wheels in the size you mentioned.

09LegacyDude Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I dont want to trust the company, your right. but if i can get a real set of wheels for a good price i would buy them. are there things i should look for on the fake OZ wheels. Also the shop seems to be a reputable shop, i have checked them out with BBB, and other online services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
