Default BBS Forged wheels

Looking at getting some BBS forged wheels if I can find any, but how much should I be looking to pay for a set of these??

Think mine cost 400ish but needed refurbishing.
They are like rocking horse poo so its a bit hit n miss what you will get them for as they can either be very cheap as no one else has seen them or really expensive because everyone else has seen them

I sold a mint set way too cheap £400-£600 depending on condition and fitment. 5x100 command a premium as they fit classics and newages upto MY04 where as the 114.3 are restricted to MY05+ STi's.

They come from the Spec C model at the time. So you won't find a seller for them easy. Unless you pay a fortune for them from Subaru etc?

They came on the JDM STI's from 2003-2004 100pcd (A-DCCD equipped as a part of the driver pack on the standard STI, standard on the 17 inch Spec C, not on the limited unfortunately )

Lovely wheels Gaz. Am seriously considering a set, but they are money if you get them new. And there aren't too many sets of these in my country.

I got lucky with mine as even though its a Spec-c Limited it still came with them, I know you dont see many sets for sale so must be pretty hard to come by, A lot less common than PFF7`s, which i had on my previous car for a few years

Cheers guys, I can say without a doubt it is the best car i have ever owned, I always wondered what all the fuss was about with the spec-c but i now understand as will anyone who has driven one, I think its finally got the modding bug out of me too as i dont think there is anything i can do to make it better apart from a bigger turbo to make it faster but i dont want to spoil the power delivery or molest it like my previous scooby, for now anyway

All the better in red too
