I tried to contact BBS wheels twice to see about making 12 x 18 rear wheels for a tubbed C6 (for myself and another guy with a tubbed C6). I never got any response from BBS at all. I guess unless you're GM they don't bother with you. I finally gave up on BBS but there used to be a BBS vendor that sounded pretty good...Bob Woodward or Bob Woodman Tires (something like that).

wheels
They're factory offsets so you can't see them sticking outside the fenders .I paid 2700.00 for a set of 4 from tirerack and thats at about 30% off.My car is a '05 and while it's clean...puttin these on made a Huge difference...alot of people think it's a new model.You guys know buying expensive wheels online is stressful cause you really don't know what they're gonna look like on YOUR car until they're installed.
I saw a yellow C-6 the other day..looked great.

I also bought mine from Tirerack also for about 2700, which is closer to 40% off. They have been on sale since last year. The fit is perfect and I believe the wheels are actually a 1/2 inch wider.
I was really torn between these and CCW but in the end wanted to try something a bit different.
My friend bought them in diamond black (darker center finish) and put them on his LMB coupe and they look fantastic.

Every time someone does a post about BBS wheels I get in trouble. That's by far the best looking wheel on a C6. I like a wheel with some 'lip' to it. Now I'm thinking again. Thanks guys, divorce is pending.

You don't suppose they take them off sale for a short time and maybe even sell a set at that price so they can claim they're actually on sale?
