BBS RK. I believe 17x7's. I think the offset is +48, same as OEM rims.

Tires are Nexen N1000 with around 75% tread left.

I've got a seller for $925 Canadian for the rims+tires.

1. Are these real rims? (Not some knockoff. Idk shit about rims)
2. How is the quality? (Will it break on potholes? Compared to the OEM Rims in terms of durability)
3. Is the price good?
4. Think it'll look nice on an Asphalt FRS? (Subjective but I'd like to hear some opinions)
5. How are the tires? (I don't track, just daily use)

That's a pretty amazing price for BBS rims... Be interesting to see what our wheel experts on here have to say, but I'm going to say "buyer beware"

Any reason for "buyer beware" ?

I'm going to say to stick with the stock wheels. Unless they're ridiculously light (which I honestly don't know if they are or not), you're not gaining much.

Moreso buying it for the looks and not performance upgrade.

But still worried about durability.

I believe they weight around 22pounds each?

Mainly on that price. BBS always seem to run really expensive new or used. That's why I was hoping some of our more wheel crazy folks would respond so we can see what they say.

Oh. so its fear of a replica.

Shit, I hope someone can tell me or at least tell me how to spot a fake. I don't wanna get scammed.

1. Check for stamping behind the wheel. They should have bbs, size x width, et(offset). Also check the center caps, bbs are stamped germany on the back. More pics would help. They look real to me.
2. RK's are cast. Nothing special. Expensive bbs are the 2/3 piece and the forged sets.
3. Price is average/slightly low for its good condition. Again, nothing special. Those tires are low end.
4. I think they will look stockish with that 90's oem look. If that is what you are going for.
5. Tires are low end. Tire size is a bit small too. Stock is 215/45r17 at 24.6 or diameter, +/- half an inch is acceptable(usually bigger). Those are around 23.6 or so. Full inch smaller(~4% speedo error). I wouldn't run them daily. I would ask for discount without tires or just use them for drift spares.

Yeah, but it sounds like you've got some good advice from swarb so if they check out get them! Good luck!

They look legit. For a 17x7 wheel, they should weigh around 16-17lbs. These are cast wheels though, as pointed out above, which explains the low (as compared to forged BBS wheels), but fair, price. BBS manufacturing quality for cast and forged wheels are miles ahead of almost all other manufacturers. If you like them, get 'em. And then put some better tires on.

For comparison
