Best place to get Replica BBS?

[poyta]

Can anyone recommend where one would go to buy a set of BBS replica wheels?
So far I have only seen Advance Tyres in Richmond but surely there must be somewhere else? Happy to look overseas too.

How much are you looking at spending?

[mitch750]

if your not looking for them to be new there has recently been quite a few guys selling them on here..

in the parts for sale section i believe

yeah but there doesn't seem to be anyone selling any at the moment and I'm after a particular size, width and colour so don't want to rely on luck that the perfect set will come around. I'm certainly keeping my eyes open on the classifieds but wouldn't mind sourcing a new set from a store either. I can tell you that I can get set of 18" x 8" BBS CH replicas in matt black 45ET for well under $1000 from Advance and this is pretty tempting. Wouldn't mind going to 19" but would prefer to stay at 8" width and this seems pretty rare.

why not just buy real ones for less?

for the fakes: ebay, bobjanes, look for 'bb5' and 'style' when searching

reps in 19x8 are normal

Why someone would go to the trouble of searching for the "perfect" reps confuses me, when that time could be put into looking for real wheels... If you look around hard enough you'll find real ones for the same price or less than reps. Best bit is, they wont be reps.

FANTASTIC! !! So come on everyone , send me the link to real BBS wheels that are cheaper than $1000!!!

importmonster.com.au or yahoo japan
Search and you will find a bargain which will outweigh the cost/quality of the reps easily

There's a guy on facebook called T and R autostyling who sells them, but i would have to agree with the other guys and say go with the real ones, you'll be a much happier man in the end

I've looked into imported genuine and its ends up at over $2000 for set, that's more than double a replica set and to be honest the wheels are only for show - not doing any racing so don't need the advantage in weight saving or strength- cast vs forged...pfft I don't care. I've got a set of replica's on at the moment, had them for years and have had no issues what so ever with them.
Just can't justify the extra cost for genuine at this stage.

What specs do you want?

Re: Best place to get Replica BBS?

I bought my rs's for like 450 shipped, granted they did need some work to bring back to new condition, but still, couldn't buy reps for that. Lots of people buy like new examples from Japan and such for around the price you want to spend. If you look hard enough youll find them

I think you have confused yourself a little...did you honestly think about what you typed before you hit the post button? Real for the same price or less?

There's a reason why reps have a certain stigma attached to them, manufacturing quality dictates the $3K price difference.

[dylan8]

No, you can buy for less. You are reading correct.
