what is the forums experience with BBS wheels? Are they worth the price? Are they with the price? Thanks in advance.

I like them too but cost is probably the issue. $1000 a corner. Watch Tire rack. They had them at 40% off a couple years ago.

Always been known as a quality wheel. A little bit pricey yes.

they are a top tier wheel maker and you will pay a premium for it, but at the end of the day.. you get something that is structurally sound, incredibly light weight and typically rather good looking. it's worth it. I've had BBS wheels on other car, probably not what I'd put on the vette, but I have no argument against them.

Had RS-GT's on a coupe I had. Picked up at Tire Rack for 2400 on sale.

I loved them, super light weight and have a rep for being some of the tuffest wheels. Heres a couple shots of the ole coupe...
