Any idea what these wheels are worth?
I've got these in my garage and don't have any use for them. I'd like to sell them but have no idea what older bbs wheels go for. They're 15s and 8 inches edge to edge so I think the size is actually a 7.

Can you weigh one of them? Also, measure backspacing or check to see if there is an ET or offset number.
Thanx, Pete

Those don't look like BBS wheels. Especially with a phillips set screw for the hub cap...

To check pricing, find the model number and size and do a search on eBay.

BBS made several different models of wheels for differing applications (and they still do). If memory serves me correctly, these single-piece wheels came only in "half-inch widths", and that would verify dfhtrhjn's measurements, except the rim lips are typically ¼" each, making the correct nominal size 7½" x 15".
We had a set of wider ones in 16" diameter that we used for rain tires on the SC racer, because they were heavier than both the RS (3-piece, 34-bolt) model, and the real race (3-piece, 20-bolt) model. The set shown here appear to be in very nice condition. To get everything they are worth, you will need to find the owner of an older 911 who wants 15" wheels for the street. Good luck, Ed |

RacerPro is probably right. I've seen these wheels once a long time ago on craigslist as bbs wheels. I probably was sloppy on the measurement. They're 5 lug, 5x130 bolt pattern for the guy who asked above.
I've got a friend out by my garage who's gonna tell us the offset. The wheels are kinda dirty so he may just try to measure one rather than cleaning it to read the offset. |

Ok, so the offset measured is about 4 7/8 inches from the back edge of the wheel to the bolt circle, so about 12.4 cm. Apparently they're also stamped "Made in Italy".

MSW Wheels. The BBS used a hex screw-on lug cover, IIRC. If you're in doubt, take a pic of the back of the wheel.
