Default I found some Forged BBS wheels cheap!

First of all I'm not selling anything and I didn't want to post in the For Sale forum for that reason.

I found some BBS RS-GT Forged Wheels for C6 Corvette for $799 -- entire set, I've seen these go $2-$4K. These are 18x9 19x10.5 base fitment only and come in Silver (what I bought) and gray. This is a smoking deal! I guess these are close outs from BBS - apparently limited set available. The firm selling them is just a front end for BBS and others. I live nearby BBS US headquarters and was able to pick them up today

I don't want to post a link because the vendor is not a forum sponsor -- I will if allowed. Otherwise PM me and I will send the info - or Google it.

Anyway - nothing to gain for me simply s public service announcement . Pictures posted of mine.

Do they fit your car with or without spacers? They look very nice.

I have seen a lot of those for sale lately for cheap. They all seem to be for narrow bodied cars however.

Just picked up a set for my base C-6, they are super lite. I will have to put them on a scale to get actual weight. Can't wait to see them on my car. I went to BBS today and picked them up, they still have 5 sets left at this time.

There are very few, high quality wheels of any type, but BBS is one of them.

I found a online site, says they are out of stock, only have the black accented ones left...

For 800 a set ..it's a nice wheel. I prefer 19/20 inch rims on the c6 these days....but 800 was too good a price to ignore. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the photo of them on your car.

I'm sure it looks great.
