What kind of rims are these? I don't have any pictures at the moment but they have the exact spoke pattern as these...
The difference is the centercap says ACT instead of BBS and the spokes are yellow instead of chrome. Are they BBSs? I tried searching for ACT rims but came up fruitless but I did find some links to BBSs when I searched. Are they BBS knockoffs or does BBS actually make them? Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, yeah I found a few. I'm kinda looking to see how much a set is worth. I saw a set of 4 go for $3,000 on one site, and a pair with no centercaps go for $100 on another. Here's a picture of one of them.
Thank you sir!

I think they would look God awful on an F-Body haha. Even worse than the C4 sawblades I have right now. I never had any intention of putting them on my TA.
They are off of a Corvette. The centercap does say ACT, I just posted that 1st pick to give you an idea of the pattern. I was considering either buying a BMW to put them on, or selling them to someone with a BMW. They need some TLC but as far as I've been able to tell, they are pretty rare wheels. They are 3-piece forged 17x9.5s. The inside piece could really use a fresh powdercoat, especially given the ugly yellow color it is right now. There is also some chrome peeling on the outter lip but all of that could easily be taken care of. If I keep them, I will have caught a hell of deal on a set of rims and if I sell them, they could fetch a decent price.
