Default BBS FI-R (possible sale)

So I just purchased a set of BBS FI-R in black diamond finish a little over a week ago.
The thing is I don't really like them after putting them on the car.
The color is pretty awesome and the look of the wheels from the 3/4 view I think is pretty good.
But I don't like the side view of these on my car. They are just too open and thin in my opinion.
So I am considering selling them.
Wheels cost 9300 new.
Anyone interested at $8300?

Apologies for off-topic response. I am building a new garage and really like the tile you have used in your garage, do you mind sharing what it is?

I have to agree with you, the OEM wheels are MUCH nicer - GLWS!

I wont sell if I will take more of a hit. They are a fantastic wheel and super lightweight. I just am not in love with the side view only.

New Age products stone flooring.
Looks great overall and I like it far better than my old garage flooring. Easy to install. It does scratch if its gouged hard or if its intentionally cut with a sharp edge.
I would probably use it again given the choice. I would probably like porcelain tile better for durability but I like the fact that this flooring is easy to install, replace, and it doesnt transfer the cold from the concrete underneath.

IMO, the BBS Mags (and the Aluminum alloy version of same) are more attractive. But there is no better lightweight option than FI-R without paying double for Mags. For someone who wants the best performing wheel (light and strong) for under 5-figures, this is it. These are significantly lighter than all the other Aluminum wheels. And nobody builds a better wheel than BBS Motorsports...

I forgot to mention the wheels have been ceramic coated already.

AND in case nobody noticed they were installed on a TOURING!
Since they were temporarily attached to a car that has special pixie dust, doesnt that mean that these wheels should be worth even more now....?

FIRs are HOT wheels and work perfectly on winged GT3s.

OP give it some time and you may grow to love the aggressive nature of these wheels. A couple years ago I thought mag wheels were too aggressive for my Touring but now wouldn't have it any other way. FIRs not too far off this look (5 vs 6 spoke) and take some getting used to... somewhat of an acquired taste in my experience.
