FS: BBS MotorSports (new Gen) GT3 Wheels
- BBS MotorSports wheels with Aluminum centers
- Front: 8.5" x 18" ET 40/43
- Rear: 11" x 18 ET 63/65
- New generation concave spokes for weight reduction
- New generation centers with drilled holes for weight reduction
Comments:
I bought these wheels from a fellow rennlister with the purpose of using them for SCCA Solo rain events, it has not happened. Due to multiple reasons, I haven't been able to run any SCCA Solo event this year. The wheels are too nice for street use, and too narrow for my dry track days use.
Price:
$3,000 + shipping. I would strongly prefer local pick-up on weekends.
Details:
- The wheels have the $400 fake center locks, same ones used on the Manthey Racing BBS wheels.
- The wheels came with the hard-to-get longer lug bolts with titanium collars.
- Wheels alone are worth $5k new, and $6k with the accessories.
- Wheels have a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups 235/295 with 2 track days and 600 street miles.
- They're supposed to be stock GT3 sizes and offsets, but my measurement shows that they're off by 2mm at the rear and 3mm at the front. BBS doesn't build custom offsets.
- They're 3 lbs lighter than my previous 3-piece BBS Magnesium wheels. These are 19.5 lbs front and 21.5 lbs rear.
I can't post pictures until Friday (or Saturday)

Brief update,
datax (Ken) sent me a firm offer last night at 3:00am, around 10 minutes after I posted the wheels for sale. He is probably picking them this Sunday at my place.
In case the deal doesn't go through, LVDell has the second spot (Dell, I wish they could go to you).
I use 10"/12" with 275-285/335 for dry track days, I'm faster around the track with these sizes.
I'll take pictures this Friday. Wheels are in pristine conditions.
Wheels are Silver.
There are 4 people already interested, so at my own risk I should say that they are not available anymore.
Thanks everyone.

Rad, I need to know where Ken lives, his routine, and when and where he will be before he heads over to pick them up. Should he not show up then I move to #1 right?

Btw, will you not post the fact that I was up at 3:00 am; browsing around RL.
Oh, I'm definitely gonna show up. Besides, you have so many rims already haven't you Dell?
