Props for looking at real, vintage wheels rather than settling for reps.
I decided to go for real ones.
Maybe not BBS RS, but another real and little more affordable mesh rims.
That will be better in the long run I think.
There are a lot of real rims that are nice and cheaper than RS rims.
Like these Rial ones.
EDIT:
Still not sure which one to go for...
But I am not really in a hurry, so I can make a good decision.
Also depends on what available on the used market.
This shop advertises them as very rare set of SSR Longchamps, but I don't believe them since google gives me no pictures of these wheels when entering that string.
Size is 17x8.5 ET -4
^ I'm not sure it's either of those. I've not seen either Mistrals or D5s in 3-piece configuration without a provision for a lug cap. These are missing the machined lip that the Mistral / D5 lug cap sits in, and they're missing the threaded hub boss that accepts the retainer cap on the Mistrals and D5s. Of course, it could easily be a version of one of those that I'm not familiar with.
Of course, I've never seen Longchamps with that design either, so a fat lot of help I am.
They do appear to have VIA / JWL approval, so whatever they are, they're probably well-made.
