FS: Subaru BBS RK 17" Wheels & OEM Brakes

Selling a set of the optional Subaru BBS RK wheels off of a 2002 WRX Wagon. They are 17x7 inch, with 48mm back-spacing. They have about 24K miles on them and are in excellent condition. I'm only selling them because they DO NOT fit the StopTech BBK (not even close) that I just installed, contrary to what other posts have indicated. These are forged wheels, unlike the RK's you can buy at say, The Tire Rack, that are cast. They have Pirelli P7000's mounted that may have about 3-5K miles left on them. Also selling the OEM twin-piston front calipers (rotors are shot). Asking $1,200 or B/O for the wheels and best offer for the calipers (shipping not included).

I'm mildly interested in the BBS wheels. Although I wasn't aware that they made forged RK's, I've only seen cast? Any info on the weight of them?

They're 16.0 pounds, and that's why they are so expensive. I've attached a good link for wheel information.

I'm pretty sure that the BBS RK's are only cast. I know that new england dealers had these wheels as an option, but they're not the actual Subaru OEM BBS wheels, which are the forged 16 lbs wheels. I found a link with some pretty good info, http://www.europeanspeed.com/wheelweights.htm and it looks like they're 17.2 lbs. I am interested and am local, but the price is a little high I think especially since you say the tires only have 3-5k miles left on em.

Fogot to ask, do you have any more pics of the wheels? Or any on the car?

I guess I'm a little confused. The BBS RK I've seen elsewhere looks a little different. I've attached a photo from The Tire Rack website. I apologize for any misinformation. Make a reasonable offer and we'll go from there.

Bottom Line

The bottom line is as follows: $900 for the tires/wheels and $100 for the calipers, plus shipping. Sorry about the photo. If you want additional photos of the wheels send me your email address. Thanks.

There is no visible damage to any of the wheels. A couple of very minor surface scratches that can probably be buffed away, and are only noticeable under close scrutiny. If I have to dismount the tires from the wheels, then I'll need $900 plus the cost to have them dismounted. I really cannot go lower than $900.

By the end of this coming weekend I'll have better pics in natural sunlight instead using a flash at night.

New Pics

I have some additional pictures of the tires and wheels, but due to their size I cannot attach them (resizing them makes them look like crap). Email me at colantino@***.net and I'll email them back to anyone interested. Again, I'm looking for $900 plus shipping for the set.
