FLOSS Edition Rebarreled 18" Style 5's

[BMW-UDM]

Solution to above: Sell wheels, adjust price. cause regardless of what u posted. they are style 5's.. not only that.. its a 4k+ style 5. yes its a bbs wheel. but if i build out some bbs oem wheels from 2pc to 3pc that doesn't constitute the price gouge. go with a builder that doesn't add a "personal" premium. And that can tell you the correct information on how these wheels are built! NO wheel builder (and I mean no disrespect to anyone) "makes" there own parts. They source like anyone else. They just feel the need to brand it and give the aura that it was there design. It's silly. Low class and needs to stop as most of us out here really have a respect for the community and its people. Folks really need to research more into what they are getting into. Go grass roots. Go with a enthusiasts that has its priorities straight. Customer service/honestly and a proven track record and of course prices that make sense! I know folks here are smarter than what they are. But it's seems like nowadays its all based on Internet fame and going with what other ppl "approve" or find "cool". This trend within wheel builders should pass. And I can't wait for it. Nobody is trying to ruin your thread. But there is no way someone would look at these are say "sure 4k+" makes sense for style 5's. while beautiful rs's and vintage customs stepped up HRE's and ACS's and going for much cheaper... Think abt it.. That's all we are saying.

Too many people are out here calling rim parts there own.

There not, there all coming from the same factory.

If your getting parts inside the US, there most likely all made in the same place, the same place that the big name guys use, like HRE, Asanti, Forgiato, VIP and so on.

Well put! I agree, people must think there are lots of companies that manufacture lips when there is only a couple.

[Stupid Kid]

The price is a starting point, plus how many 3 piece 18" stlye 5's have you seen compared to 18' RS's.

Just because they're one of a kind does not mean they're as desirable as 18 inch rs'es

I've seen sets of rs285 go for a grand less than your're asking for these. You're not going to get your money back on them, its just like buying parts for a car the returns for the investment will absolutely be negative when it is time to sell.


EDIT: For the record, these are super cool wheels though

Bump. Clean set of wheels. Wish I had the $$$ to pickup. Bought set of BBS LM from FLOSS. Money well spent.

IMO this is a good price for wheels and tires. People here quoting prices and ignoring the fact that almost 1K is attributed to the tires. If you minus that amount then you have wheels costing about $3K. Also, your price is OBO so there's room for negotiating. People should quit bitching.

FLOSS does good work and so these wheels are well built. Good luck on the sale.
