Pininfarina By BBS Wheels?
Anyone familiar with these wheels? I have an older set, look to be about 15x7, 5 spoke chrome design with the Pininfarina logo cast into the spoke and the center cap, along with "By BBS" Cast in another spoke.
I have tried to find some information on these wheels, and what I can get for them, as they won't clear the LS400 Brakes I am running up front(they came off as soon as I bought the car). I haven't been able to find any to compare them to except in foreign countries, so who knows, maybe they are rare.
Anyone familiar with these? I have attached a couple of pics..... TIA

It wouldn't surprise me if they were manufactured by BBS. BBS does manufacture OEM wheels for various car manufacturers.

Yes, I am certain they are manufactured by BBS, but I am wondering why I can not find any information about these wheels. I have found a few pictures of 17" models of the same wheels mounted on kit car Ferrari replicas. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing Oh well, I guess its worth seeing if they are worth something to someone...
