What fitment size are they (ie. PCD) - out of interest?
BBS forged jobbies arn't they? - OOOPS already answered this one.
Can you post piccies anyway, just interested that's all.

Here's a thread on Nasioc highlighting the differences
S203 Rims? - NASIOC
There was a real set on here FS though a few weeks back which someone snapped up..
Awesome wheels though and very rare ! GL with selling

The BBs RE's are identical to the S203 rims... if you spend over £3k for those S203 wheels with tyres rather than under a grand for the BBS RE's, ...you've either got more money than you know what to do with, or... well...

Big difference between them,s203 wheels are made out of aluminum and they are forged which makes them stronger.
Them wheels which sold a few weeks back make me a little suspicious as the same pics have been used else where on jap auction sites.And why would he sell them so cheap

If you read the thread on Nasioc they are not exactly the same - different width/offset/colour for starters plus different centre. As with most things if you want the real schizzle you are paying for the exclusivity.
If you just want something that looks the same buy some Rotas..

They're not the only ones in the UK dude....
Litchfield Imports supply them too.
It's in their optionlist to point and drool at
Pretty wheels, but not £2.5K pretty
You could get 2 set's of 'normal' 18" wheels with tyres for the same price as the 204 rims alone.
Crazy what people will spend for a bit of exclusivity and saving .5Kg per corner
But to each their own

Weight wise these rims are 9Kg each where the STi 18" are 9.5Kg

Hope you get what you want for them dude.
Too rich for my blood (because the boss would have it spilling on the floor if I turned up with those and a cheezy grin)

A guy from SN had them shipped over from Japan for his Spec C.
He didn't realise at the time that they were the 114 fitment - 05> cars onwards!
He had them up for sale on this site!
My car has since been lowered and i've had some mudflaps fitted which make it sit alot nicer!
I've got the STI front lip which I'm hoping to fit this weekend pending weather!
Having a few problems reading the Japanese instructions though!

Speedline turinis are only 9.4kg each for 18 x 8s
Id rather the BBS's and some extra dollar to throw at some suspension or APs etc
