512 BB Aftermarket Wheels Question

I have a set of 18" 5 spoke Compomotive 3-piece wheels I'm not using. I went back to stock TRX setup as the TRX tires are available, and I like how they perform (when fresh). The Compomotive's have maybe 500 miles on them and are pretty crisp, clean and flashy. Kind of the 288 GTO look except Compomotive uses more of the small bolts holding them together. I got them on the car from PO who paid ~11K for the set. I'm looking for opinions on value. I feel the BB is more of a collectible than a track machine. They have a lot of pizzazz, but the BB is pretty sexy looking in primer with 4 flat tires i.m.h.o. .

Just wondering if I were to offer for sale, where to begin?? Is 8k ridiculous, or giving them away? Did they plummet to 50% the day they were delivered? I realize the market on Boxer accessories is pretty specific, and fairly small. At some point I would just hang onto them. Maybe when the TRX's age-out, and I just want some less expensive hi perf tires to enjoy?

Appreciate your opinions fellow F-chatters. Thanks!

 

Thanks guys.

Yes they were on a BBi. I'd say it's a pretty safe bet they fit BB / BBi. I suspect 365BB too I'd suspect.

 

Thank you Sam,

They are quite 'cool' for sure. I'm weighing the likelihood of using again vs the space they take up to store. I just checked out the Group 4. I didn't see the modular 3-piece design with center disk / 2 shells / o-rings / bolts. The Compomotive's centers are cast in the UK, and the spun shells (rims) ae made in Germany. I believe the bolts too are made in Germany. (Oddly, the many multiples of 7mm bolts are stainless steel, when for a small cost increase, they could've been Titanium - oh well. I suspect the option wasn't well advertised.) I think those 17" BB replicas offered by Group 4 are a great option.

The prob with the Compomotive is the character is more sport racing and not originally offered on the BB. I once had my car mistaken for a 288 GTO because of those wheels. Of course amongst Ferraristi's, still should be obvious, but my point is how it changed the cars character. Imho, the BB body's sexy curves clings to the generation attached more toward the 365 Daytona and can 'pull off' the look with the modular wheels, I think it looks better going back the other way toward the gold Campy's.

 

There's a pic out there which means it's probably on Google Image. Again, the BB can "pull it off" because there's some amazing race prepped Boxers out there which use them. A Daytona ~~~~~ I've never seen 3 piece modular wheels used.

I really like the 17" Group 4 Boxer concept as it looks 'right'.

I do agree, all of these must sell at a glacial pace. I've found NOS stuff for the Boxer which probably only existed 'cause there's soo few. But, when stuff dries up, Let the games begin!

 

I want to share I had P Zero's on my AMG and liked them. Very competent tire. When I replaced I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport and am amazed at the cornering grip and confidence they inspire. Also, they just roll perfectly. It's like the balance is spot on. Either of these would be great on the Boxer and transform the handling. One thing about the MichelinTRX, when they are fresh, they are much-much better. I'm actually happy with them. But, P Zeros on 17"s for the Boxer sounds like great fun!

The 18" Compomotive w Michelin Pilots stuck great, but were tough at slow speeds, and sensitive to the roadway if it wasn't perfect.
