The BBS Wheels are overplayed thread.

[Mr. Burns]

Hate on me all you like.

however.

5-7 years ago, it was all the rage...all that mattered was those 3 piece refinished BBS wheels with pretty little screws, overpriced kodiak lips and the precious BBS logo shining bright in the center

now everyones got em.

it's almost expected now.

boring.


Mr. Burns OUT.

They're the go-to period-correct 3 piece wheel.

I think if you go to a car meet or peruse BMW forums, yeah, you would see a lot of BBS multipiece wheels, to the point they are commonplace. It's like going to the zoo and seeing a grizzly bear doing parlor tricks just to be rewarded with a chunk of meat.

If you see either one in the wild, all by its lonesome, it's spectacular.

[slammin.e28]

Hopefully prices will drop and they won't be ridiculously overpriced all the time.

IMO, wheels shouldn't cost more than $100 each. It's a racket.

So true. I think I've seen at most one 4 bolt e30 with refurbished RS's in person that wasn't at a show, they're still quite rare from what I can tell.

[FredK]

Yes. Non-redrilled, RS001 or RS003 are still very rare wheels, and look perfect on an E30.

[IRON-E]

Even a redrilled set, is still rare to see here in Cali if not at a big car show.

[XW70]

Yes. Non-redrilled, RS001 or RS003 are still very rare wheels, and look perfect on an E30.

From an RS003 owner, how rare exactly

Edit: on topic, i too think they are played out but something about knowing they are BBS's satisfies me enough to keep them.

[F34R]

I agree 100% with you Burns, but the simple fact is they are one amazing wheel. Well made, light and a classic design that is timeless.

Played out but here to stay.

IIRC, they really aren't all that light. Most 3 piece wheels aren't.

OP mad, and hella jelly

Not played out for me :hitler:

[Threehz]

Great look on the E30, what are you going to do?

I've personally been planning on doing staggered 16" Borbet A's for a while even though I see quite a few others on the forum with A's. Turbos are also sweet.

What wheels are you running Burns?

I definitely enjoy knowing how few people have my wheel setup, but I'm even more excited to throw my Compos on a 2002.

[QUKBMER]

I know what you mean OP, i have too many sets of BBS RS rep's (Koing Remembers). Kinda overkill on it,i know they are not real BBS wheels but i still know what you mean though.They are everywhere. I thought i would change things up abit and go ACS and HARTGE wheels for now instead.

[FredK]

Yes. The RS are supposed to be road-worthy wheels that duplicate the looks of BBS magnesium racing wheels, which are actually very lightweight as well as being extremely wide, at the cost of being essentially track-only pieces that need constant inspection.
