Default What kind of wheels on this car?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AERO-...#ht_7390wt_943

In the detail pics, the wheel emblem says BSA. Been on their site and cannot seem to find that wheel. Any one here know?

OK, answered my own question. Found 'em as BSA 215A. Now can anyone tell me the rep of this company. I have not heard of them. Wheel Enhancement does not carry them. Found a website with a 323 area code called Pampered Cars or something like that. Any help anyone?

I have always liked hte BSA 215a wheels. They look a lot like the OEM Sport Design (made by BBS). BTW - There is a set of OEM Sport Design wheels on e-bay

ok, after all of that, can anyone tell me if the BSA wheels are of a quality I can put on the C2? They look great, but....

I am not sure about the quality. They are made in Malaysia. Here is a link to the BSA web site. WHen some were on e-bay a while back you coould get them for about $200 +/- per wheel.

Here are the available sizes of the 215a

Thank you. I was cruising their website yesterday. I must admit I like the look of the wheels on the Ebay car. Would really like the Champion RG's but at $5k a set, they are a bit pricey. So if anyone has experience with BSA, please let me know.

there are a couple of guys that have had them here... Ive inquired about them a couple of years ago and the only feedback I got was that they were heavy... but it is a good solid wheels. I bought sport designs instead...

It does look lowered. I have the ROW M030 kit on mine, so it sits nearly the same. I am trying to find a supplier local to SF.

FWIW - those ebay wheels are 7.5" in the front. Easier to get than a set w/8" front width. Not sure how much difference it makes, but I found a set w/8" fronts when I bought mine recently. Thought the 7.5s were a boxster option... same offset though, I think.
