Are these the same as the R3 rims?

So.. last night a very unfortunate thing happened and I ruined one of my R3 BBS rims. After looking and seeing that most places are selling them for like $500+... I decided I might find a different set and attempt to sell my other 3 rims. While looking for a different set on tirerack, i stumbled across this:

BBS SR Anthracite
BBS SR Anthracite rims

I looked up some photos on google and they looks EXTREMELY similar, except that these have the actual BBS label on them. and they only cost $375.



Just a side note, if I do end up getting different rims I am thinking of going with these Motegi Racing MR126

They're not really that close. Look at how thick the spokes on the RX8 wheel are near the center. And the rotor shape..

The R3's are made by BBS... However, the R3's are a lot more round than these ones. Plus, those have triangles and not Rotors!

In my opinion, if your trying to go for the R3 look, this is about as close as your gonna get, aftermarket wise.

Yep, the bad news about these is the weight. 29lbs... that's 8-9lbs than the R3 wheels
