Default BBS E88 Wheels

Could I ask for a pricing opinion for a set of BBS E88 wheels?
They are 9x18 and 11x18 with aluminum centers.
I would say the condition is likely 9 out of 10 with a few light scratches.
The rubber is Hoosier R6 with @10 heat cycles, 245/35/18 up front and 295/30/18 in back. One rear wheel loses about 10# overnight - poor seal at the bead. They were fitted to a 996 GT3.

Thanks and sorry for the pictures.

my brand new BBS motorsport wheels (the successor of E88 for 2010 GT cars) were 6000 new.
never used, can't dump them for 4500.

good luck.
BBS is the best.

I had a set on my 996-GT3. They are a great set of wheels. For those who know and want the benchmark in wheels, a fair price should be in the mid $3,500 for the set.
Good luck.

And I still regret passing on those wheels a few years back Dell! They were mint and I am sure that you got your money out of them on the track.

I hope to pick up a set over the winter...
