Those would look terrible on an F-body. The only BBS wheels that would look good (in my opinion) are the RS-GT, LM, or CH-R models.

They did come on corvettes not sure which year though. The benefit of these wheels is they can be built to be wider and have more dish so they're ideal for the look im going for just was curious to see if anyone else had pics.

Why don't you just get some rims that actually look good built the size you need?

Those wheels are serious old school dating back to the mid 80's. I remember seeing them mostly on BMW's. They were very pricey wheel's back in the days.

The only F-body I've ever seen those wheels on was the '91 Twin Turbo Firefox Trans Am that Pontiac made.

Found a pic of BBS RKs on a LT1.

Could these have been the birth of the spyders?
