Many of us have discussed the issue of the 96+ spindles on fox body's and if the BBS RX wheels would fit. I think they fit pretty well. They are 17x9 with 28mm offset. I am running a 1 inch spacer in the rear to give it a more aggressive look. What do you think??

Wow I always wondered how those would look on a fox. I am not a huge fan of chrome but they look awesome. Nice work and congrats on taking the plunge and trying something different.

Thanks, I allways think of chrome as ghetto, but I like the style of wheel and I thought that the chrome would "Pop" with my paint. I am happy with the purchase. I think the silver finish on my car would look ... ho uhm.

I think they look sick. I think i may have gone with the silver color, for some reason i think chrome on a BBS is a little much...but the wheels themselves are awesome! I love BBS and they look sick on a clean red gt! Nice

Yah, I am gonna stick with these until the next wheel bug bites me. I am a wheel junkie and like to change them up often. Post some pics of your car with the new wheels.

BBS RX

can't beat the price, they retail for $335 a wheel. Get them here for $600 a set.

Yeah... I am dropping off the first half of the money at Dugan so it can get started as soon as my Cervinis bumper gets here. Probably be 2-3 weeks before it is completed.

yes, them make them in silver, but not the same color as the bullets, it's a lighter colr silver. the offset is 28mm and I think the backspacing works out to around 5.75

And i do like those rims on that car.
