BBS CH Wheel for C5?
I have a buddy who just put these on his C5 that is entered in car shows. These rims he was told are made for BMW and are not designed for C5. He tried them anyway and they look friggin awesome. He has Bridgestone S02. He has 19" all the way around. 275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front. The show I saw him at was a Chevy show at Moroso in Palm Beach. The dealer he bought the wheels from was showing his car. He had a Yellow C5 with HRE 541. I love 541's but I could not take my eyes off the BBS car.
I have to have this... Tire Rack cand do the whole thing Tires and Rims shipped for $2900.

Re: BBS CH Wheel for C5? (Buckmaster)
Yeah, isn't it surprising that they aren't completely bending over Corvette owners like HRE, CCW, Fikse, and the list goes on............. :rolleyes: HREs look great and are of obviously terrific build quality, but COME ON with those prices! :nonod: Sometimes I get a little tired of the aS$ raping we Corvette owners take just BECAUSE........... :mad

Sorry guys I am still waiting on my buddy to send the PICs..
Try to go on Tirerack and do a config with the Bridgestones... You have to use a BMW 540 for the configurator to work. Use 19" all around you'll see... $2900 with tires shipped!

Very similar to the BBS RXII, which seems to have a bit more depth to wheel center along with two or three piece look. Advertised as 'dynamic elegance converted from motorsport'. Not sure about application, though widths and diameters are okay. Could go 19" all the way around! Is our bolt pattern 120.7mm? Check this alternative at bbs.com. Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Re: BBS CH Wheel for C5? (CPT Z06)
They are really not spec'd for the Vette but they fit. They also are only come in 8", 8.5" and 10" Wide variants. But they are so freakin awesome on the Vette. I can't wait to get those pics!!
My favorite part of the wheel is the flared smooth center with Motorsport stamped into it.
Look at the 2 pics posted above... They look so so on the Beemer. But on the Ferrari they look :eek:

Re: BBS CH Wheel for C5? (chuckster)
Can Tirerack get the RX II BBS wheels? Would look better than CH on a C5. All fitments shown on website are for BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Saab for both CH and RX II models.
