BBS wheels for C5
Does BBS make wheels for the C5? I’m looking for 18” sizes for front and rear.

They only list one size for 120.65 and its 18x10, that might be ok for the front but I want a larger postive offset. Nothing larger listed for what I want on the rear.

um When I looked at the BBS LM 5 years ago 18x10 and 18x12 IIRC it was $6,000 or some craze high amount.

The BBS LM's were designed for the C5. They came in 17x9 and 18x10, however you can get them in different sizes. BTW, they aren't cheap.

Are you sure about that? Do you know of a supplier that has them?

You're better off with CCWs. I had the RKs on a Mustang, and though they were fine wheels, they were ugly in person.
