those are similar to the ones i posted in a recent thread looking for track rims. I don’t know how much those weigh, but the BBS 17’s I’m looking to get weigh only 16lbs. The only difference between those and the ones i’m look at are the rivits. Personally though, i don’t really like the spoke pattern, but from a performance stand-point. They’re very nice. EDIT: these are the ones i was looking at getting. I like these a bit more and they’re not too expensive either. About $250/wheel ![http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/bbs/swap/bbs_rk_ci3_l.jpg](http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/bbs/swap/bbs_rk_ci3_l.jpg) ---

About $250/wheel no, mine are diff. they have a lip and look a little better, these would tend to “flare” from the hub to the rubbers, whereas with the lip on mine, it will look “smaller” and BTW 17X8 is small, but phat, and a phatty contact patch is better than a taller inertiatic property…and when it is dropped they will look much larger, but for now, the 4X4 stance is here to stay ---

I like your current setup better, but buy them anyways for when you get bored, you can never have enough sets of wheels in my opinion. However the bbs are also pretty nice and who can resist owning bbs, I know I cant afford them. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-bbs-or-not-to/17991.md?page=2)
