suds2250 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I saw this deal over on the Saab 9-2x board. Looks like a good deal. I think they weigh in around 17lbs. Would they fit a Legacy? http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=55&products_id=385 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 They'll just fine. A touch less offset than stock, but no problem there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hal9e3 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Here's how they look (just scroll down a bit to skip my long-winded verbage:)): http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5757 That IS a great deal on those wheels. I think the 48mm offset may improve the handling as the track is increased by a little over 1/2" at both ends. These BBSs are not the same the (2005 anyway) stock 17" 9-2X wheels BTW. Those wheels are made by Enkei, have a shinier finish and slightly different design and a 55mm offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zildjiank Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I concur. Buy them! They're BBS, can't go wrong when the fitment is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhBe1 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It appears they'll fit our '06 LOB. Can anyone confirm? 06LOB2.5i MT, JDMRSB, GYTTs, HPS, LGT Mufflers & Leather Wheel, SubiMomo Knob, Inalfa Moonroof, Clutch Switch Bypass, DeDRLd, DeChimed, & Straight Headrest.

hal9e3 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Forged wheels for $140? We can all dream, can't we:) Sorry, they're cast, but reasonably light at ~18 lb.

I paid $500 for the wheels, NIB with the BBS center caps, and even the stem. Weighed them on a postal scale at work and they are exactly 18 lbs.

C-37pilot Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I bought 5 of these and put 225/45/17 Avon Tech M550 AS tires on them. I couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 It's a great deal for a BBS wheel. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Not so sure about that, since these are all the remaining ones Saab had, and then they will be gone. Then again, how many did they buy? The dealer I bought them from had over 100 wheels in stock. I know he's sold 12...... Charles River SAAB, Watertown, MA $500 plus shipping.

mrejda Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Jeez, this is very tempting. I just shot their ebay store a lowball offer.... edit: my LGT stock wheels are for sale! PM me or see thread in classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycotopian Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Will these wheels allow for the necassary clearances for a BBK like the Brembo or Stoptech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Will these wheels allow for the necassary clearances for a BBK like the Brembo or Stoptech? I'm almost positive that they won't clear Brembo's, but not sure about Stoptech's. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-37pilot Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hey, can you post photos of how they look on your ride? Thanks. I can post a photo of these wheels on an iON-lowered wagon if you wish. Just lemme know. BTW, via another thread, you can buy 5 of these BBS wheels which gives you a full size spare that fits in your trunk/rear well (I can attest that 225 width plus a tire repair kit on top holds up the wagon's rear deck cover nicely) and then you can sell your 4 OEM wheels/tires on Ebay. The last OEM auction netted $660 for 4 Legacy wheels with the RE92s. I just started my auction and am at $390, with several "side bets" meaning guys emailing me to stop the auction and sell them for $500. So you can make up your investment in these BBS RKs fairly easily, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagcars26 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 That is a damn good deal on a BBS rim,,If I didnt allready have a set of the STI BBS,I'd be all over these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrejda Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The dealer I bought them from had over 100 wheels in stock. I know he's sold 12...... Charles River SAAB, Watertown, MA $500 plus shipping. If you can't figure it out from my post above, I jumped on this. I spoke with Peter in their parts dept. and he was very flexible with the pricing. I suspect he would have gone lower than my "lowball" offer. Anyway wheels arrived today (one day shipping from MA to NJ) and I'm very excited. Unfortunately I know that once there are BBS's on the car, a little voice will chime in and remind me how much nicer they will look about an inch closer to the fenders.
