Default WTB: BBS Basket Weave 17x9.5" wheels.

As Stated. I am looking for the BBS RS178 Basket Weave wheels with the gold centers in 17 x 9.5" et55. The surface condition of the wheels is not important as I will be refinishing them to a new color anyway, but they must be straight and round and balance out.

Here is a pic for reference (these are not mine) ...



If you have a set, feel free to post here or email me at jsmith@3hirty9inenorth.com. Thank you very much in advance.

I have a set of BBS LM Series Wheels with Z06 Goodyear F1 Supercar Tires.

They are a true 2-piece wheel. BBS only offers the centers in silver, so the center sections were removed and custom powder coated in black. The outer rims are highly polished.

Fronts: 17 x 9 with 265/40ZR17 Goodyear Supercars
Rears: 18 x 10 with 295/35ZR18 Goodyear Supercars

Tires are stock C5 Z06 sizes and each one has 5/32nds of tread left. They have plenty of life left. Tires have about 12,000 miles on them.

These are a direct bolt on for any C5 and later C4s. I don't think they would fit early C4s without adapters or spacers of some sort. You didn't mention what year you have.

Price: $2500 plus shipping. Let me know if you are interested.

First off, thanks for the response. You have some beautiful wheels there.

Unfortunately those wheels won't work with my fitment. I didn't mention what year I have since (don't hate me) these won't be going back on a vette. I have a VW that I am currently running a set of sawblades on and I really like the fitment the wheels have. I have always been a fan of the BBS RS, which is why I am looking to make the best of this and get RS' in Corvette fitment.

Thanks again.
