    BBS REP Opinions

    Most of the time I lean more towards OEM+ original/creative look of wheels. However, the below wheels are an ideal look, size, lip etc. for what I have in mind.

    In order to get this look in an original BBS-or-the-like wheel, I'd have to have them bespoke-made (can still be done by BBS) or have another company like Image to get the same result, or look and look for the parts...for like twice the money.

    These are on ebay. I'm not endorsing them and they are not a perfect fit either at 16x8.5 et0 offset but...i do like these. Anyone else?

    I like them, just wish they were a higher offset like et20 or similar.

      Looks decent. Offset sucks unless you're a fan of poke.

        yea the size for me is spot on but that offset just does not work.

          These are nice - more mahle style than most reps. Too bad the offset isnt right.

              Never seen a rep of that wheel design. Interesting.

                ..agreed et all..contemplating doing some research on companies that can increase backspacing/ET. the want is real

                and of course I find these just when I've narrowed down my next set of wheels.
