BBS RS 17"... Thoughts

[LowVeeDub]

I currently looking at purchasing a set of 17x7.5 4x100/114.3 ET33.

Just after some advice really, I would widen them out to 17x8.5 Front & 17x9.5 Rear.

For you guys in the know, did they ever make these in 4/100/114.3??

I've got some pics and they look legit. What price would you think is reasonable??

I've only ever owned 16" versions of these so thought I'd ask..

LVD.

Whats the model number, would make it much easier to confirm if they are real or not and if the specs are correct?

They appear to be Rs301 from the info the seller has provided..??

RS301 are 5x100.

Are these the set for sale on eBay (Thailand)? I'm assuming the set he has, has been redrilled. BBS RS (nor any BBS for that matter) did not come in dual stud pattern from the factory. Ask the guy to take a pic of the inscriptions on the wheel underneath the waffle plate. That should confirm everything.

What ray said.
Plus I don't recall any 4 stud 17" bbs Rs even if the have had a seccond stud pattern added

Would definitely be rare if there were, keeping in mind these were wheels that were made only until the early '90s. 17s back then were like, 22s right now!

Well I got all the pics and the wheels have been re drilled to 4x100 so they are now multi fit.
All the shots look good and he provided internals and even took pics with centre caps off etc.
Serial numbers are all there as well as the original BBS logos etc.
So I bought them.. 17" BBS RS here we come.
Keep a look out for a build thread on these wheels as they will be mint.....LVD

winning.
will be interested to see what they actually are, because going off the pics with the centre cap they are defiantly not 301s from the pictures I was shown.
were 4 stud of some description, 4x100 is the second drill, but not sure if 4x114.3 was the original PCD either...

the centres appear to be 7.5 originally, and model number ends in a '4', that's all I could get from them

[LowVeeDub]

Yeah i thought i'd just take the gamble, could turn out to be something good.
They are def not 301s, But I will see when they get here and will post pics when they're pulled apart and go from there.
Pretty excited but... LVD

I got the pics too, my thoughts were that it looked rough as, maybe it's just the discoloured parts around the holes. Stock pattern looks to be 4x100 as the 114.3 PCD holes have been drilled through the original inscriptions. Probably not that bad. I love the look of the flatter spokes on 17" BBS RS!
