Thanks. It's what I was expecting.

They're real BBS wheels. I believe they're that price because they're cast wheels.

Yeah they are a little bit heavier than stock but I think I'll probably go with the 17x7.5 anyway because I really like the design.

I agree, it's a good looking wheel.

Do they do anything special with the paint on the wheel to make it "winter"? I don't get the point calling it a winter wheel to justify it being heavy if it isn't actually more durable...

Not sure, this is the only thing I could find on the BBS site in regards to the wheel's finish: "Produced using the established low-pressure casting method, the wheel captivates with its highquality workmanship and charismatic surface design in Himalaya Gray with a satin finish."

@DarrenDriven: No, sir. I actually got a great deal on a set of Enkei Kojins that I couldn't pass up: www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48453
