Default Is this a good deal on BBS RS-GT?

BBS lovers out there, is this a good deal? I don't believe they make the gunmetal color anymore but is there a reason for that?...It's hard to find pics of 993 NB with these wheels for reference.

Thanks -
Tony

the wheels look great, but you cant beat the look of stock IMO.

The price does seem pretty decent, don't they go for $4500 a set new?
they look to be in great shape. there should be some samples in the "coolest wheels" thread.

agreed! But lets just say all 4 stock wheels fell off and now there are no more stock wheels ever.

Tjangi has a set on but I haven't seen a full side view shot, always at an angle.

It's a decent deal. Tires have 70-80% left, so, assuming a value of $800 for the tires (approx. $1,500 new), you're paying $2,200 for the rims.

Keep in mind that, if you shop around, you can get BBS' for around $3,200 or so brand-new with a so-called warranty.

I agree with Mark that it is decent deal. I saw an identical set for sale last year with Sumitomos for $3100. The Advans on this set are known to be a good performing tire.

Yep, I think that is the issue. Seems like an ok or decent deal. Usually when its a good or great deal it gets scooped up pretty fast around here. Gotta be quick on the draw.

I have the same set on my 993 and am thinking of switching to something else. Send me a PM and we can discuss. WR
