They are perfect in every way; not a spec of damage. I simply don't like the combination of Gold and my Silverstone II car. See the pictures below showing the wheels on Silverstone II, Space Gray, Melbourne Red, Jet Black, and Alpine White. My loss; your gain. Enjoy!

** Please review my iTrader feedback (see link under my avatar on the left). I pride myself in honest, no-surprise sales. I ship quickly and the product will be as represented!

Model:
BBS E88 Motorsports - Forged Aluminum 3 piece

Note: BBS Motorsports wheels are the only wheels that BBS sells replacement parts allowing for easy repairs (BBS does not sell parts for their LM's, LM-R's, etc). BBS will sell you lips, barrels or even new centers. This is a huge bonus and adds a ton of practicality to these wheels.

Size:
18 x 9.5 et19
18 x 10.5 et19

Fitment Notes:
Pictures below show the wheels installed with the above listed tires, without spacers, and no rubbing. There is plenty of inner clearance between the 275mm tires and my KW clubsport coilovers.

Big Brake Clearance:
Wheels clear Stoptech 380mm (I have tested) and Brembo 380mm (I have confirmed with BBS Motorsports - They have tested and sold sets to Brembo 380 users).

Location:
Carlsbad, CA (30 miles north of San Diego)

Price - Wheels Only:
XX $5100 XX
XX $4900 XX

$4750 - PRICE DROP Number 2! Wheels Only (plus shipping and paypal)

Note: Most venders sell this set for $6000 new. I welcome you to seek some quotes. You will find that my price is a great deal considering the wheels are as new.

Price - Wheels / Tires / TPMS:
I am now selling the tires separately. See this link to the ad:

Slicer: Why did you choose 275/35/18 for front instead of 265/35/18? I thought 265F/285R will maintain the relative size of the OEM 245F/265R size.

275/35/18 is closest to the OEM 245/40/18 diameter
295/35/18 is closest to the OEM 265/40/18 diameter

Michelin doesn't make a 295/35/18 PSS tire so the second best match to the OEM diameter is 285/35/18. Plus a 295/35/18 would rub with this wheel's 10.5 width and et19 offset (would need an et25 offset to fit a 295 in the rear).

The tire sizing rules I follow -

• I generally try to match OEM diameters as close as possible,
• Install the widest tires practical (without rubbing and while still meeting my other "rules"),
• Match the tire width to an adequately wide wheel to support the tire (I wouldn't run 275's on a tire width narrower than 9.5")
• Use a 20mm or less width stagger (more nuetral handling), and
• Install a larger diameter tire in rear (as compared to front) - just like OEM (I would consider the same diameter front and rear but I wouldn't install a larger diameter in the front because I believe that will negatively impact traction control and ABS).

More curious than anything, what would it cost to refinish these?

The price can vary depending on whether painting the centers only, lips, barrels, and who is doing the assembly / disassembly. It would be approximately $400 to $600.

Tires removed, wheels cleaned, packaged (in original BBS packaging) and ready for shipment!

For anyone interested in buying a set of wheels from Brett, I bought a set from him and the wheels were packaged better than they would have from a company. Pretty much overkill on packing them up. His wheels are also exactly as he describes them.

This is exactly what I need. I need to get my taxes done.
