They totally look like BBS-RSs. Everything looks like it will line up well. You can find pictures of what they would look like on here (iether in the official BBS or Wheels for sale section. Good find...

I'm going to come off looking cheap, but I don't care. These wheels are just that good. I bought my current set off of this guy. Same price, cash (the seller is extremely professional and courteous. Very easy to deal with). The wheels are made by AXIS wheels, and directly shipped from Taiwan. The fitment was spot on, and they look quality.

I'm currently waiting for a replacement wheel due to me running into 2 potholes on the 60 East freeway at 70 MPH. When I took off the wheel, the only damage was curb rash. We examined it at a wheel shop and the wheel balanced perfectly, no bends or cracks.

Cheap quality wheels that you can just buy a few replacement sets for? What's not to like?

Can you post a pic? Also did u run a 5mm spacer in the front? You aren't cheap, it's just some of us don't care to spend 4k on rims that end up getting bent or curb rashed... I'd rather invest my money for my future not on my car, but at the same time want it to look good. I talked to the seller, he is a very nice guy.

I'm lowered on Tein H-techs. No Spacers as the concave wheels I bought actually came out to a +35 offset in front.



Before I was lowered and still on stock suspension:

The eBay seller has those concave wheels posted at $1500 - is that how much you paid for them?

If that is the case, I would've just bought some LC818's - they look a bit more aggressive to me than the eBay ones. Still look really good though.

I paid $650 for the whole set. He has them listed at $1500 because they are currently out of stock. He's in process of importing more.

Looks clean and the price seems right! I'm surprised there has been no trash talking yet... Well, I only read the first page.

OP - did you end up buying these? Would be interested to see them on the car.

They look similar to these?
