Here's a used set of BBS RS wheels I'm looking at possibly buying. I really like them:

The BBS RS is a classic wheel. However, they don't look too big. Are they 17s? However, I think the LMs look much more current though and sportier. Are the LM replicas you mentioned a relatively quality wheel? Any idea if they are fairly lightweight as well?

Where is the best place to look for used wheels for our SC cars? Are Supras fittments (width and offsets) a direct fit for our cars? How about the 350z? If so, that would give a lot more choices on the used market.

Thanks

They're 16s (SC in pic has a 1" Eibach drop also) but I think in these wheel styles/designs (mesh) you can get away with smaller sizes, imo. They are the same specs as the stock 16s, 225/55/16. The seller, lexlikenother, wants $675 and they will need new tires soon, he said. Maybe I've just seen so many ugly/ghetto (chrome) big wheels recently that I may be getting out of the big wheel look a bit. But I'm also trying to keep a nice, clean factory-pimped look anyway.

I'm not sure if BBS has discontinued the RS. It kind of appears that way. I don't see it on the BBS site, The Tire Rack, etc. It's possible that the RS-GT or the RS II replaced the RS. I'm not sure; maybe you know more. I haven't been able to find much info or history on the RS other than the RS made its debut in 1983.

The LM replicas are heavier, I believe; not sure by how much, I guess it depends on the replica, but I assume they're decent wheels. I've been looking on my local craigslist.org site for used wheels (to avoid shipping costs) but I've only found a few sets of wheels I would put on my SC. No BBS wheels, though. Damn things are hard to find. I also look on eBay, of course, along with local junkyard's sites or just call them to see if they have any OEM BBS wheels, etc.

The Supra wheels (MKIV) are 50 mm offset (same as the SC). The 350Z/G35 are the correct bolt pattern (5x114.3 / 5x4.50) but not sure about the offset. Their offset appears to be a lot lower than the SC, depending on the tire width. Not really sure how they'd fit, offset-wise. More info here.

I also have a silver spruce and have thought long and hard what kind of wheels to get. I am currently leaning towards the BBS RS-GTs. Love the gunmetal look and BBS are great looking wheels. But Im not sold for sure yet.

I have a 1992 silver spruce with 103,000 miles. Just changed the sparkplugs and cap and rotor. Originals. I have a squires turbo system I am going to install this summer. Carter Racing is going to do the install for me. They have done a couple of Jap vehicles. I will keep you guys posted. Peace!
