Hey, I have an offer for a set of 17 inch BBS RW wheels.
  The asking price is 350 but I'm sure the owner would pass them on to me for 300 euros. That's the plus side, the question remains, which tyres to get? 205/40/R17 ? Dont these cost an arm and a leg? Like 200 euros/each ? Does anybody have experience with this? I really love the look and top notch quality of these BBS wheels but I'm not so keen on spending a small fortune on tyres. Right now I'm running Michelin Energy + Alpins 195/65R15 on stock 6th Celica GT wheels (5 spoke). -------------------- You say you love flowers but you pick them, You say you love animals but you eat them, I fear the day you'll tell me you love me.

That's too much for those wheels if you have to buy tires. Not a good deal. For 300 euros, you can get much better wheels than that.

Much better wheels than bbs? They're forged, no, while pretty much everybody else casts them or outsources to bbs or ssr?
Oz ultraleggera would be nice but i wouldn't trust thin cast wheels to survive our pothole and speedbump filled roads.
