    so the shop i get parts through was cleaning out their attic space and they came across a set of BBS wheels, i dont have a picture sadly but they say "motorsport" around the centers. they look kinda like these: http://www.bbs-usa.com/road-wheels-d...fm?CLID=5&WF=8 they want 400 for the set which i didnt think was too bad but on the insides of 2 of them they are rashed up and looks like they need to be refinished, does this sound like a good deal?


    added pics below

    Nope. Not a good deal at all. Buy them from the shop, then sell them to me for the same price. I'll dispose of them properly.

    Go for it. Get pics up if you can but it sounds like a good deal from the info provided.

    So I picked the wheels up yesturday and stopped off at the powder coaters today to pick out some new colors for them. Found a pearlecent white and going to get the letters done in black, and the rash repaired
