So I am looking for a decent set of 17 x 8 rims for my sti and so 245 wide tires... my plan is to buy the rism and tires and sell the stock bbs wheels so it won't make a huge dent in my pocket. i tried doing a search to see how much they are worth and i see everywhere from 500 to 2000 dollars. about how much would I expect to get out of my stock wheels. (tires are almost to the wear bar.)
not sure on price, but I will say that for the right price I could be pretty tempted to take them off your hands. no guarantees though
A reasonable price is 500-800 depending on the shape and color of the bbs wheel. As far as a new wheel, don't buy anything over 18lbs. You should be able to find a large selection of 17x8's at 18lbs. or less at $700-1200. There is always multi-piece light weight wheels for $2k.
I am sure that you will have no problems getting rid of those 04 BBS. I have seen people trying to sell them for as high as 1300, but I don't know if they ever got that price.
thanks guys... im thinking about the rpf1's, gold (of course.) I am planning on doing a 05 sti hub swap eventually so the more i think about it the more i think i will just get a decent set of tires and then wait a while...thanks for the replies!
Yeah 04 BBS sell easily and over 1G no problem b/c they'll fit a WRX. 05s are a different story The hub swap was fun, have you considered simply replacing the bearings and using better grease?
will replacing the bearings and grease solve the hub "issue" I just would like to not have to worry about it.
