I have always loved the BBS wheels on the C5-R as in the pic. Is there any wheel out there that is similar for a C5? Any pics/where I can get them are appreciated

Sometimes you can run across a set of BBS LH's. They looks something like that and are for the street.

I love that wheel also. Too bad they will not work for us.

Not quite as many spokes, but perhaps the "most similar" you'll find, right down to the faux centerlug appearance... would be the CCW C14s.

Well... I already have CCWs on it. (505A) I've been thinking of the C14 for a while, but they just don't quite do it for me. I'm looking to replace my 505As because it is a 20,000 mile a year daily driver and thanks to work I don't have the time to keep them as nice as I would like. I'm looking at the 360/Forged Mesh 10 and Mesh 8. They look pretty much dead on except they have a much larger lip and of course the lug area is an obvious 5 instead of the faux centerlug that the CCW has (and the real centerlug of the BBS)



I was just hoping to find something cheaper!
Unfortunately I think I just have expensive taste.

If you want BBS wheels, why not BBS wheels? Here is a picture of BBS LM's (my favourite) on a C5.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't BBS stop making wheels that fit the C5? The only thing I don't like is the visible rivets on the LM. Even when they are functional for holding a 3 piece together I don't like that look. Is there actually a BBS available somewhere?
