Those BBS rims are gorgeous. I would have to believe that there is a world of difference in pricing between BBS and the Volk SF Winning wheels.

Totally insane in person. I almost felt the pull of gravity towards it.

The CH's are more of less about 500 for 19x8.5 and 550 for 19x10.

BBS wheels are not that pricey. very lightweight but they use a process that doesn't result in high manufacturing expenses.

Actually, the wheels I have are one of the only "cheap" ones made by BBS as they are cast. Their forged wheels like the RS-GT's and LM's start at over $1,000/wheel, and their magnesium wheels $2,000/wheel plus.

i wasn't trying to say your wheels were the cheap ones. just saying that some of their forged wheels are comparably priced to volks, works, etc.

maybe those prices are redonculous retail prices i guess. i've definitely seen RSR/RS-GT's for a lot less than that.

I know you weren't, I was.

I've got the wholesale pricesheet in front of me for BBS, and trust me when I say their forged lines cost WAY more than similar offerings from Volk. Work is somewhere in between the two...

Very clean transformation! You should have shave the side moldings off, it would look cleaner imo.
