I'm on the look for some wheels and stumbled upon some 17x9 BBs Style 5's for cheap.

Here's the bad:
3/4 are bent on one edge (2 on an outside, one on an inside edge).

2/4 each have one small crack along one outside edge.

1 has a ding and they all have minor curb rash (it's more like scraped paint).

Seller claims they all hold air.Are these with the restore? The are decent looking cosmetically . Any input is great .. thanks!

 

not worth buying them all messed up style 5's r so common u should just wait and look for another pair.

 

Right. I'm in no rush to get wheels. I've been browsing for a while, so the wait continues lol

 

Here's a link for anyone else who is interested http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=67131016932

 

His sizing is also wrong there. Style 5's RC090s didn't come in a 9" width as far as i know. Only came in 8" widths. Especially in the 17" variety.

 

Thanks for the info bro!

 

For the price, not bad. However, it will cost you roughly $500 to get all the wheels repaired. Not sure the price that these wheels go for, but if they can be had in great condtion for under $800, save yourself the headache of having these repaired.

 

Only reason I picked mine up were because they were cheap, I had them spun at Firestone before getting tires put on and all passed, he actually mentioned one was as good as new. They are curb rashed(well 2 surely are) and the bolts have corrosion/rust but nothing a refurb can't take care of. I myself will not mess with a cracked wheel. RC035 is what I have and if the seller would have done some more research instead of just blindly posting the specs he would have showed the whole center, it has all the info there.

17x8, +20 offset, 72.56 center bore

↑ nice man hopefully you'll have them wheels looking good as new ! Ima pass on these wheels. I found some nice (not as legit) wheels. Some 17in privat remembers. I gotta do some side details and ill have em soon if they aren't sold within the next two weeks.

 

Thanks man, currently the wheels I'm just taking my time with. They'll eventually get sent out to get redone, IDK what finish I'd want. I've thought of plating instead of painted centers and polished lips, being a split wheel there's plenty of things to do. For now I plan on just spraying the wheels black with plasti-dip(will see how this works out) and run them like that till I get the funds for refinishing.

 

BUUUUUULLLLLL____KKKKINGSHIIIIITTT they didnt come in 17x9. BBS did make style 5's in 17x9. They're just super rare. Have him sned you pictures of the stamps to confirm sizing and I'd take those in a heartbeat.

 

RC035 is 17x8 and RC090 is 17x8. Yes there are 17x9 Style 5s but they are not as easy to come by. Didn't you check the eBay listing, he posted a pic of the stamp, it's RC035. Now IDK if all four are the same or staggered but looks to be a square setup looking at the pics. BTW, RC038 is 17x9 +22.
