Question Thoughts on BBS or Momo rims?

What do you guys think of BBS or Momo rims? I haven't come across many G35s wearing them. A image search on google revealed a coupe which looks like it has some BBS rims on it:



I'm in a semi remote area of Alberta, Canada so I don't have a lot of local options available. I don't want to order from the US because of the added cross boarder taxes, brokerage fees, and other costs. Places that cater to Canada such as 1010tires.com and tiretrends.com seem to have quite a selection of rims available but I get the impression they may be of lesser quality than a lot of the wheels I see on cars in the USA.

BBS and Momo are the only brands available at those sites that strike me as perhaps performance or premium quality brands. The only reason I say this is because they are names I recognize. I don't really have much knowledge of mods or brands.

That being said, I'd like to say I'm not opposed to bang for the buck products that of good quality. Are there any half decent brands out there that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I will require some summer wheels and tires in the next couple of months to go on my 03 sedan (my stock all seasons are worn out). I'm going to head in to the city one of these days to see what some of the stores offer. I'll also check out the dealer but I suspect whatever they have will be marked way up.

That's my car. Wheels mounted late '04 & ran 'em for + 1k before I took them off for some body work. They've been replaced since then w/ Volks & are stored in the basement. They're a decent looking wheel for the G and have a sorta silver shadow tint to the finish w/ black accent. After I got them I felt they would really be killer on a DG or OB car. They're one of the lightest weight wheels available for our cars. They're for sale if you want em but cost of shipping to Cd ?
