What BBS rims are these??

[Ray Smoodiver]

Um, you measure bead to bead, those are actually 17x8.

As resident BBS wheel whore, those are mounted behind the centre, which is less common.

Definitely BBS E50's

They're a drop centre rather than a flat base so you can atucally mount road tyres to them (woot!)

They use a really old style of BBS mounting screw as well, so any idea what sort of vintage they are? Great score man!

did you say the guy has more sets? If so, are you going to be buying all of them or can you let some r3vers have a chance at 'em?

The guy doesn't have them for sale officially, but i'm having his nephew buy a set here and there from him. So my goal is to slowly buy them all lol

[Money$hit]

So what'd they come off of? Any confirmation?

[dannyyisntt]

they came off a 24 hour enduro mustang that was converted to 5 lug in the 1980s. 5x108 being a ford lug, makes that the most believable story i've been told lol
