Research.

BBS is the BMW of wheel manufacturers.

They make the lightest, strongest, best looking wheels and they have been putting them on high performance cars forever.

My 18" RGRs weigh 18 lbs. each. I bought a set of four for $2000. That's cheaper than OEM BMW wheels.

I know they cost more than Chevy Blazer wheels, but c'mon man...

Where did you get your RGRs from for $2000 a set?

noflash · 01-20-2006, 09:50 PM

Speed of Sound Performance in Panama City, FL.

Google them.

I like BBS. I had some cast 17" RX's, but they were soft and bent.

I don't believe though that they make the strongest or the lightest wheels, but I do think they are a A+ brand, and I would consider them again.

after having seen countless e90s with aftermarket wheels I cant get over how perfect this setup is.
So clean, sporty, and classy.
beautiful

Yeah i feel the same way.. BBS lemans are soooo freaking good looking and will look good in 10 years time!

poldim · 01-22-2006, 01:22 PM

If I could only afford to screw around with the already perfect suspension...

I was referring to their forged wheels.

Sorry you had bad luck with the RXs.

Yea, I knew you were refering to the forged rims, that's why I made it clear that I had cast bbs'.

So who makes lighter and stronger forged rims?

ALPINE6SPD · 01-23-2006, 10:37 AM

what wheels are those. Black wheels on white look awesome.

Volks are lighter and stronger. ADVAN are up there too. The japanese have a superior forge process. I'm not bashing BBS, they have great stuff too, there are just lighter and stronger stuff out there.

The magnesium Volks are incredibly light. Unfortunatly they´re also incredibly expensive and hard to get (not available in europe)

BBS are great wheels and very sturdy. But their mid-range wheels are of average weight, often about as much as the OEM wheels. Only their very expensive forged wheels are realtively light, but they are usually only availabe in 2 or 3 piece designs (which adds weight) and in very big sizes

Many, is not all...man. Plus, BBS Japan may not be the same as Volk Japan in terms of forge technique. I've seen bent LM's. Bottom line, IMHO BBS doen't make THE STRONGEST and THE LIGHTEST rims.
