BBS Wheels

Ok, I have now seen two camaros with these killer BBS wheels on them. One car was blue, and it was sitting next to a blue ZR-1. The other one was Black. Both had the same wheels on it. What the heck are they and where can I get some?

You mean these? They are BBS RS wheels. They've been discontinued as far as I've researched, but try this site for a wheel that looks incredibly similar: http://www.usacomp.com/cxn.htm

Right on, those wheels are absolutely cool!!! I am looking for something like that. I will be doing some research tonight on pricing, and the right offset for my car. Thanks.
P.S. Sorry about the zr-1 thing, I did really know that was a GS.
No, Really I did

I inquired about those BBS wheels a month ago...

Apparently, they are discontinued, so I ended up going with ROH ZR6s

BBS has no stock and will not be making anymore ever. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I called USA comp and found a set of wheels in 16",17",18". any width I want, any offset I want, and they are 3 piece rims. The best part is the 16" are $1600 per set, and the 17" are $1700. That is a small price to pay for 3 piece wheels, especially when considering Momo, Boyds and the new BBS wheels are $900 EACH Forget that. They will make them whatever you want. Shipping is $15 per wheel. Mine are on the way right now. They even come with a fit guarantee. How can you beat that?

when you get them I want lots of pictures. Glad you could use that link I posted. That took me a good 5 hours to find on one of my research blasts!

Don't worry about that I am getting a new Digital Cam. soon. I will be going crazy with the pics. I don't even have a picture of my car since I lowered it. That is a shame. Anyhow, I ordered 17 inch front and back. 9 inch fronts, and 11 inch rears. I can't wait.

I always wanted those BBS wheels, even before I got a car. I could not find some that fit our cars so I just settled for the next best thing, GTA wheels.

The closest I came to finding ones that fit were ASCs. They were for a Corvette and were 17 X 9.5 for $200 per wheel. I did not want to use wheel adapters so I decided not to get them. If had more money to burn or if I had a TA, or an Iroc, I would have gotten them.


It seems like every company discontinues the wheels I really like leaving me with little to be satisfied with.

How about Centerline Meteors on a Third Gen? The style is somewhat close.
