    Are these BBS rs' worth it?(pictures)

    Alright so I'm located in Washington state, and I found some dude on the other side of the country selling a set of 4 BBS rs rims. They're real, 3-piece, gold, 16x9/16x8, and I'm thinking if it's a good deal or not. He wants 800 shipped, in PERFECT condition.
    Problem is that the bolt pattern is 5x130. I think they came off of a Porsche or something. So now I'm thinking that if I ever want to re-sell them, would I lose or gain some money back? Are these rims worth it?

    you can run 5x130/4x100 adapters... on 20 mm. minimun thick. You'll get a very very agressive stance.

      I think for $800 it might be worth it to buy them, polish them up, and resell them.

        ^ iirc these usually run a very low offset (maybe even 11mm), if you're gonna run the thinnest adapter (18mm) then that will put you in -7ET.

        looks good, i'd buy and re-drill and get hubcentric rings. or buy em' and sell me the waffles/caps set. :)

          You can get Porsche adapters for pretty cheap. Let me know if you pass cause i could use them.

            The offset is 11 from pictures on one of the wheels.

                  I actually just bought a set of high offset rs' in 5x130 16x8.5 and 16x9, i paid $1k and i will be running adapters. If the offsets of those wheels were more adapter friendly then i would definitely say they would be worth it. Offset 11 is a little on the low side for adapters.

                      or fill and redrill?

                      if they are solid backed you could even just redrill /sleeve

                        well wouldn't they just lose value if i fill/redrill them?
                        and yeah, they're solid backed.

                          Its all about offset and tire size.

                            i just bought the same ones, for more money actually.
                            here is a link with pictures on the po's vert

                            he is running 25mm spacers. you can see that he as some poke
                            for me it will be perfect with a stretched tire ill get the fender lip right between the tire and wheel lip.

                            like they said above, this is a VERY aggressive setup,

                              You don't want those. Give me his email so I can let him know how horrible his prices are.
