What BBS rims are these?

These came with a 93 525i I acquired on a trade, authentic BBS, 17x8 I think, they are pretty friggin wide. Anyone know the model name for these and how much they are worth?

Tire size on them is 245/40/17 btw.

Not sure, but those won't fit the rx8. 5 x 120 bolt pattern. If i were to assume a price for a set, i would say 800 bucks? LOL.

Yeah I know this, this is my 2nd Bimmer, I had some OZ Competitions on the last one that I got for $300 and sold the car and found out they were worth around $1000.

I'm not trying to put the BBS on the RX-8, they look good on the BMW, plus this thing handles like the RX-8 in big sedan form. Suspension upgrades FTW.


Pics of new toy 5-spd too.

I found the rims themselves and their names.. but maybe you'd like to learn..

and they are actually pretty pricey

Hehehe, I traded a salvage title 93 318i for this and it came with these rims, m5 sway bars, bilsten suspension, some lowering springs that I forgot and other goodies.

edit: nevermind, I found the hidden little link at the bottom of the BBS page.
edit x 2: holy ninja edit on the price there.

Oh well, I was just wondering what they were called so I could look up how much they were worth. I'm gonna get another cheap set to put on the car soon take these off sand em down, prep and have them painted black w/ a colored lip or something. The paint on 3/4 of the rims is in bad condition, rims are perfectly straight though.
