I haven't seen them but I heard they sure look nice on BP's goods ;)
You know I have a sedan, right? lol
Considering I may or may not have time to touch them up a bit by the end of next week, I guess it's time to reveal...

Bought four of these puppies for what is quite possibly, the LOWEST price for a genuine set of BBS CH wheels ever. $2k-ish new? Nope. $1200, the average going rate for these wheels used? Nope. Not even $800. I got these mofos for $600.
Granted, they need some TLC, which is fine, because I will be doing the work myself. I was hoping to get these refinished before I put tires on, but I fly out to CA tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday. I needs tires badly, so I'm getting the new tires mounted to these instead of the Style 71's since I plan on running these as a daily set this summer. I will just have to refinish them after the Reunion...
This is the kind of rash two of the wheels have, though the one in this pic is worse than the other one:

The other two wheels don't really have rash, but instead nicks that are pretty deep, so I will have to fix those as well.
The color I'm going with will try to stay close to the originals; if anything, the color will be a hypersilver type of finish if I do it correctly. Two are also missing caps, while two have black caps. I plan on borrowing a couple of caps from a very good friend until I source genuine BBS red caps.
Awfully small price to pay to be a member of the BBS club... :biggrin
Dope. Welcome to the club
On top of this, tires need to be ordered otherwise I'll be running on cord soon with my track tires that I'm daily driving right now. :\
Sweet!

Most excellent bargain hunting, BP!! Can't wait to see this next Weekend!
Sometimes you just can't pass up an extremely good deal when you see one. It especially helped that this ad was up on VWVortex a few months ago without replies and the guy never bumped it, so it wasn't really all that publically visible. Win.
Now I have to decide whether I want to sell the 71's or if I want to keep... I will keep for now but will eventually make a decision.
What is a VW doing with our bolt pattern and offsets??
