Hey guys I need help

Hey guys. I found some rims but i don't know who makes them at all. I have found a few similar rims but none were actually them or a few came really close but they all have too many holes for the bolt pattern. thanks for your help guys.

Those look like BBS rims. The lug pattern is 4/100.

Gorgeous! How much did you pay for those? Were they new or used?

Don't worry about the hole pattern - MANY wheels are made w/ more than one pattern and the photos they use may just be the 5 hole. Just find the one that looks identical and then look at the specs - they will say what bolt patterns are available. In your case you want 4x100.

They look like they might be made by BBS or perhaps ASA? The brand name is on the little red center of the wheels - if you have the original high resolution photo you can zoom in and probably see it.

Hey guys I need help-bbs1.jpg

Iris, we are trying to help - really! Did you LOOK at the web site for BBS Wheels or ASA Wheels?

There are only a few wheelsets out there with little red centers. BBS makes one of these. Here's a photo of some BBS wheels - from their Web site. Other than this, I don't know what more we can really do ...

Since you found the picture off the Internet - did you try emailing the person who posted it, or the person who owns the site or blog?

Jeff

I truly appreciate the help but I even zoomed in the picture and noticed that these Wheels are not the BBS RG-F. The Center cap is red but has some kinda white triangle logo in the center. Also the center hub has some grooved lines from the forks of the mesh on them and the lip is not stepped like the BBS's.
They look almost like the Exel radius but the Exel's has 8 bolt pattern holes.

this is hard.....!

Try sending this pic to a "Discount Tire Center" as in the the background of your pic, those wheels look pretty new so maybe the guy took the pic in front of the store where he bought them????
