Default WTB-BBS RS's in perfect condition

If you have BBS RS's laying around the garage in terrific condition.. Let me know. For some reason, I am on a BBS kick.

So I am a buyer for the right offset and condition wheels.

Thanks for the responses.

Please PM or Email me...

I have a set that are 16x8 front and 16x 9.5 rear. If I recall, they are in very nice shape. Also have the funky giant plastic wrench for removing the center cap sections. I'll dig them out if your are interested.

I'd say you guys are smoking crack but that wheel style probably predates crack.

For me it seems I am collecting the cars I dreamed about in high school, and BBS what the sh----t then, and to me they still are.. So that is why boards like this rocks, differing opinion makes for some real interesting banter.. don't you love it. I have a line on 5 seperate sets now, thanks to Rennlist.. cool huh.

Default Who's buying?

I have a set on a 79 930. Not sure if I should put new tires on them for DE days or go with new rims and tires. Not sure I trust them due to their age and not willing to invest in getting them re-conditioned by BBS.

Front rim 7J x 16, 23 mm Offset
Rear rim 8J x 16, 11 mm Offset

Consider trade for something trackable, or will sell for an OK price.

RS is classic design and they simply belong together with mid to late eighties high end cars. If only they had made more 17" versions.

In those days it was called freebasing.

I loved the look of this design ever since I saw Jim Hall's cars with them back in the 60's:
