The BBS Wheels are overplayed thread.

[delatlanta1281]

yeah, what am I thinking.... I should get rid of the RS wheels that have been on my car since it was NEW!!! and get a fresh set of the sportmaxxors, cuase 0 offset is way cooler..........

whatever...

^in 1990 BBS RS was a pretty respected performance wheel......................
this thread is full of the gheyz

Doesnt change the fact that they are everywhere Mike. IMHO, and I mean this... IMHO, when Ary starts selling reps, it's time to stop buying that style. If you already have them, then whatever. But I cannot tell you how many people have looked at Huff's compomotives recently and said "arent those the compomotive reps that dude in california is selling?".
Sorry, but that's how you know. And cmpos are rarer and cooler (IMHO) than RS's.
And yes, I rocked RS reps for a bit. I did it to see if I could stand spending 1500+ on the real thing. I couldn't. So I got OZ's.

I've always been a fan of 5-spoke wheels personally.



10 internets to the one who knows who's car that is.

get a look at that effing sticker. brings me back. I need a pic of Mariano's car with a dtmpower sticker now.

[Raxe]

I love 'em. Always have, always will.

BBS weave style wheels, whether 1-piece or 3-piece will always look good on e30s.
BMW made more than 10 sizes/4 styles because they look good on all of the cars as well.

paying a thousand dollars or more for a set of them is silly though.

Now I really know I've been here too long. Josh Anderson's...

[einhander]

nothing wrong with that.

Definitely not.

[mrcheezle19]

They are only on a few cars.

Most E30s run cheapo XXRs or some nonsense like that.

[Mr. Burns]

the 'i ain't got the cheese for BBS wheels' thread.

Street cred

[Mr. Burns]

More importantly, does anyone else find the OP generally insufferable?

generally insufferable, or insufferably general?

That just happened.

To my legions\leagues of fans, please don't let my single opinion on BBS wheels ruin your day. A mere subjective take on freedom of expressive opinion was unwrapped earlier, and now has picked up a whirlwind of dynamite spite.

I am but an observer on the outside looking in.

Cheerio,

motorsport wheels also bend quite easy too

You're probably right.

Aren't they magnesium centers, that kid is just going to fuck those wheels up.

You are correct. They are in fact magnesium centered wheels. And you are correct again. He is just going to fuck those wheels up.

My only gripe with them was that they were 5x108. I couldn't bring myself to redrill these wheels.

The purchaser made his intentions known only after the transaction happened. I feel like a real jerk.

I can't decide whether to just polish the spoke face and leave the black paint inside or paint the whole centers gold.

[kid325e]

Those look like they're going to be ill when done!

[Fusion]

Was just working on refurbing my KBS shitty fake wheels today using the Polish polishing method.
My snot contains aluminium now.
I agree that at car meets everyone has this style (usually split) wheel, but they're not an everyday thing, since most of those cars are garage queens.
BBS RS were made to be tracked, not ejaculated on.

I can attest to how light BBS Motorsport race wheels are. 16x8 BBS e50 wheels were around 12-13 pounds each. I checked before I sold them. Some punk kid is going to have them redrilled to fit his VW Scirroco. Such a shame.
