I'm looking at a set of used BBS CH 18x8 ET38 23.7lbs after work today, I wish it was 18x8.5 would be sweet, but according the BBS website 5x114 are only 18x8. This dude selling it on craigslist doesn't post any info about it beside it's 18" take off of a Avalon unknown what year with some curve rash with good amount tire thread, he's asking for $350.

The advantage of these rims is that the stock tires will go on them.

 

Though I'd be wanting to test fit one up to be 100% sure as I think these may "poke" with the ET38 offset.

 

Check the fitment of the Wedsports (18 x 7.5 ET35) as these are close to what you're looking at running and the most aggressive wheel fitment on these pages. These BBS wheels are going to "poke" 3mm more than the Wedsports...

seems to be 23.4mm sticking out total from stock ET55, I had 25mm spacer on before and the rear was rubbing, I guess 23.4mm probably perfect or barely rubs for the front. I guess I probably have to stick with stock tire size for a stretch look, can't go bigger without fender rolling.

Turn out its the rare BBS CK010 18x8 ET45 with three good tires, with curve damage on all four. It'll be my project, going to bondo, sand and repaint it a bit darker or maybe gold. Got the set for $300. It need Flat shank lugs is a bit hard to find, was able to locate one guy sell on eBay for $20 shipped.

They have a nice look, but they are not top quality. I personally am not a big fan of tire racks inventory. They need to start offering better and more sought after rims.

With the specs for that price, I wouldn't risk it. You could face life threatening with cheap wheels. Especially the Legacy is not a light car when not load.

Who knows what comes from China these days, but if it was on a lighter car I wouldn't worry much. Since the legacy is a heavy big sedan and a family car. I wouldn't take that risk.
