Default my girlfriend's '07 is250 on bbs fi reps

my girlfriend's is250 needed some tires and i found some bbs fi reps for a price too good to pass up so she pulled the trigger.

i know, it needs a drop, but they still look good over stock. they are 18x8's (square setup) +40 offset. they did need hub-centric rings, and took the stock tpms with an adapter to the valve stem. the rims are invoit brand and "speed" is the name of the rim.

i tried to get her to go with a black finish and let me black out the emblems and badges and gloss black wrap the roof, but she wasn't having it. the 325 is my dd.




also, we have a set of the stock '07 rims in chrome (no tpms, need tires). if anyone is interested, shoot me a pm with an offer. i can't post in the classifieds yet. i'm in socal.

Are you willing to ship her lobster claw rims to Quebec? (No tires, just the rims)

If so, how much?

Those reps don't look too bad...with a nice drop and spacers she'll be set...just don't put bbs center caps in...we hate when people put real caps on rep wheels lol.

Yea those stocks are 09-10 luxury package wheels. Chrome Claws

Hah, I wouldn't put bbs caps on reps, I know better. A car guy would easily be able to tell the difference.
I don't have any fake parts on my Bmw. She liked the reps and I thought they looked good so we picked them up.

The claws have been sold, thanks for the interest.

Although after a drop it will look way better. Some nice springs will do the trick.
