Mythical Creatures: BBS RS [4x100] & [17x8.5"]

[hexagone]

This is some unicorn stuff right here:

I know it's a feeler.... But for only the ballsiest of ballers- I am able to make a set of 4x100, dish'ed, BBS RSs.

Specs:


* 17x8.5
* 4x100 (redrill from 4x114.3)
* ET13
* Flat backs
* 2" lips
* Media blasted centers, Powder coated super reflective wheel silver
* Mirror polished lips
* Chrome powdercoated bolts
* Painted black barrels
* Polished flat caps
* Includes valvestems


Price: $3500

[yes, I absolutely know this is a hefty amount, but it involves sourcing, frankenstein'ing and refinishing two pretty rare sets of wheels into one ungodly monster that doesn't involve the need for a 5 lug swap, adapters, and gets you world-famous status in the wheel-geek circle. Poon potential is infinite too. Serious candidates feel free to PM me]


Would look like this:

[ak-]

lol, that is more than the cost of 3/4ths of the cars here on R3V.

GLWS!

sweet jesus, awesome.

[e30frosh]

I'm on board minus the price of redrill and powdercoat. LMK.

nail in the coffin sales line... "poon-potential" made me LOL, and also made me think of Chevy Chase in "Fletch"

back on topic, what is the centerbore of the 4x114.3 donor ?

lol, that is more than the cost of 99/100ths of the cars here on R3V.

GLWS!

It's something like 63mm? The setup would require hub centric rings, and possibly tuner lugs.

The setup is hypothetical at the moment, but I can make it happen. Lead time would probably be something like a month, with getting the donors from Japan, redrilling and refurb'ing involved. I guess I'll let this thread simmer for a bit and gouge interest.

Despite the hefty tag.... In the grand scope of things, this would still be about a grand cheaper than sourcing a full 5 lug swap & some RS212/198s (assuming avg. rate).

Freudian slip?

[hexagone]

Freudian slip?

hah.

"gauge" would be what I was going for.

Pix aint working for me...:(

[hexagone]

Okay, I found 16"s just now (ugh, should be studying).


Is my goal/ price too far fetched? Is 17x8.5" too far fetched of a combo to even consider? My claim for being the only set in the world isn't an exaggeration.

[bzboardz]

off topic but could you get just the centers?

bumps

[hexagone]

Nope, just full sets of wheels that I'd have to um, err... sabotage?

If I win the Lotto, you're the man I'm calling. And Luke!.

What's mythical about them? your redrilling them. If you take a set of RS198's and slap any 16" 4x114.3 centers redrilled to 4x100 you get what you are offering. You can also take rs178 barrells with the 16" redrilled center and brand new 2" lips from Hoffman or Felgen Garage and have the same thing for about $2k.
