Are these BBS legit? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So far looks legit, but they are so old that im not sure too! They are RG345 17x7 +48 56.1mm so I find them a great OEM+ upgrade at 15lbs!

Yes these are legit. These wheels were produced in this spec for the JDM GC8 Sti.

How about mat gold like the ones in the s209?

they are legit. they were a factory option wheel for bugeye wrx. they aren't heavily coveted because of how narrow they are and that they don't clear brembos.

Thanks Kyle! But for a functional POV, they should be quite on the spot right? Forged, durable, stock size, and 15 lbs - would it be a great DD upgrade vs the stockers? (esp with sticker tires)

The s209's Tri-Color paint scheme with red highlights sure looks tempting.
White car, Black secondary trim with red highlights wherever there are blacks. , Gold wheels. Pretty visually tempting! Although i am leaning towards a simple 2 color build. BLACK AND WHITE! haha

For a direct replacement they will be nice. It's also relative of the cost. RPF1 are available a good bit wider at ~$250usd per wheel. That's used BBS price range here and the marginal increase in weight is relative to gaining 2" of wheel section width.
