BaT Auction Success Story: Wheels on Wheels with frenchfelgen You Should Know
This Success Story comes to us from frenchfelgen—a serial BaT seller and wheel purveyor with over 100 listings to date. In May 2024, he sold a set of BBS LM wheels to BaT user JoeCab for his Ferrari F355 and a set of BBS GT-II wheels to L39E for his widebody 993 911. He followed up with both of them for their thoughts, and provided his own account from a seller’s perspective.
From JoeCab, the winning bidder on the set of BBS LM wheels for his Ferrari F355:
My original F355 wheels were in rough shape; the fronts suffered from cracks in the inner barrels and had been poorly repaired. As you know, magnesium is not easily repairable, and the alloy can develop hidden porosity issues that are not visible under the paint. So I didn’t really consider the original wheels a safe option for anything other than car shows.
