They look an awful lot like BBS wheels.

Wow! That's it!

Thanks alot. The wheels aren't too expensive either....I'd have to get them gold powdercoated though.

By this list, the rims should fit with 2.25" spacers (if they are similar to the bolded rim). The site mentioned says the rims are a 5/120.7 bolt pattern....what's the thirdgen bolt pattern? So far I can tell it's ?/120.65....what's the ? mark?

Those wheels are BBS 17x9" using Goodyear Eagle P275/20ZR17. Just looked it up Dec 91 Motor Trend mag. I believe that they are the BBS RS style wheels.

cool. I'll keep looking for them. Those Ronals sure look similar though.

All I can seem to find are the BBS RS II rims. Anybody got a connection to the RS I?

Man, from that angle, the wheels in the back look larger than the ones in the front.

Keep us updated I would also like to know if they are still available.

closest I found was some guy selling a set a couple months ago in a classefeid online. NO online dealers to my knowledge are still selling the BBS RS wheel. They've all got the RS II...which sucks...but not the original. Most of these wheels were fit to mercedes, mazdas, and such. It's quite hard to find them in the right size.

Were these wheels ever offered on Corvettes? I think they were from the factory. But I can't find any details on that. I've got to go to class and sleep...so does anybody else have information on these things?

Justins86bird

RS is no longer manufactured. You might try to look for Epsilon wheels. They look the same. Epsilon also made a style like the factory GTA wheels which have the exposed lug nuts.

Are those really 16x10's on the fronts? If so, tell me how they fit in there. What Backspacing, Offset, etc...I am trying to get a set of 16x10 Diamonds for my Autocross slicks, but i didn't think they fit.
Please let me know..

This thread is 9 years old but based on his signature it looks like he did get a set of gold bbs wheels.
